I have a shell script with lots of echo in it. I would like to redirect the output to a logfile. I know there is the command call cmd > logfile.txt, or to do it in the file echo 'xy' > logfile.txt, but is it possible to simply set the filename in the script which then automatically writes all echo's to this file?

$ echo “Hello” > hello. txt The > command redirects the standard output to a file. Here, “Hello” is entered as the standard input, and is then redirected to the file **… $ cat deserts.
Normally, if you want to run a script and send its output to a logfile, you'd simply use Redirection: myscript >log 2>&1. Or to see the output on the screen and also redirect to a file: myscript 2>&1 | tee log (or better still, run your script within the script(1) command if your system has it).
To redirect the output of a command to a file, type the command, specify the > or the >> operator, and then provide the path to a file you want to the output redirected to. For example, the ls command lists the files and folders in the current directory.
the shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + S ; it allows the output to be saved as a text file, or as HTML including colors!
You can add this line on top of your script:
#!/bin/bash # redirect stdout/stderr to a file exec >logfile.txt 2>&1 OR else to redirect only stdout use:
exec > logfile.txt If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
