error log

[night]

I have some 90 lines of a "batch" file that I use to make configuration choices. And to load packages. The file is a *.sh file. What CMD will log any errors to a log file?

I can redirect everything to a text file. But all I want is the errors redirected to a text file. Is FreeBSD smart enough to do this? I'm not. At lest not yet.

[cmd=]command 2>/path/to/error.log[/cmd]

Is this used after every cmd?

zpool create zpool0 ad4s1d command 2>/path/to/error.log

Or

command 2>/path/to/error.log
pkg_add -r gifsicle
pkg_add -r xorg

Thankyou for helping

Use the second option and redirect stderr of your script. Commands in the script will inherit the filedescriptor.

I'm sorry but you are speaking a different language. I have no idea what to do.

I still don't understand. After every cmd or once for the whole script?

Where did you get the script, and why isn't the author available to help you?

I created the script.
