Re: redirecting standard output

Standard output to a file
../your_script_name > your_file_name.log
will send the standard output to the log file (In Windows you do the
same thing too, provided you get a standard output). The ">" sign is
the standard output symbol. With each run of your script, the log file
will be overwritten

../your_script_name >> your_file_name.log
will append the standard output to your log file. That means, your log
file keeps on growing in size.

Learn from other user's comments. Try to read the manual. If you are a
new Linux user, I would ask you not to directly look into "man".
Rather, go to google and learn how to use "man", learn how to use "vi"
etc. From there on, you will get some confidence and will enjoy working
with Linux. In google if you search for "man bash", you will get manual
pages for BASH. Read about Redirection as suggested by other users.
