You can do this with this command:

Quote:

#./script.sh >> /var/log/newlog

Then the output will be redirected to the file named newlog.

..once i run the script the data must output to logfile...though i terminate the script the data must go to the log file..

Post your shell script and give us an example about 'data' which you want append to log file.

What's wrong with the solution in post #5 ?

I'm thinking that maybe he needs a logging system or function or a redirection inside the script using exec.
