Re: ** UNIX : set echo on in shell

Here's how I generally handle logging in most of my scripts (this is obviously from an RMAN backup script):

##################################################
### Start log
DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
LOG=${LOGS_DEST}/RMAN_${ORACLE_SID}.${LOCALHOST}.INC_$2.$DT.log
rm -f $LOG

### save the file descriptors
exec 3>&1
exec 4>&2

### set up output streams
exec 1> $LOG
exec 2>> $LOG

...do all my stuff here, all output (STDOUT and STDERR is automatically sent to the $LOG because of the commands above
...when I'm done, put this stuff at the bottom:


############################################################
### Wrap up
DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
echo "Finished rman backup of $ORACLE_SID on $LOCALHOST (LEVEL $2) : " `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`

### restore the file descriptors
exec 1>&3
exec 2>&4

Hi,
   I am looking for a shell equivalent of  set echo on. set -x works and gives the output on the screen. I am looking for a way so that it also goes to the LOGIFLE. So I can get the command being executed in the log. For example  if I have  :
set -x
sqlplus ..... > $OUTFIL
...
set +x

Then I want the output to go to log file. It displays on the screen but does not go to log. From the log it is difficult to know which sqlplus had the error. I tried to put a echo before the sqlplus to know it but i have to update it each time so looking for a better way. Zoran and Frank helped out dba village and I have made progress to this point. Could not find much on net. Thanks
