Log Files from bash script output

Question

I have a script that runs (this works fine).

I'd like to produce logfiles from its output and still show it on screen. I have this command that creates three files from this blog:

((./fk.sh 2>&1 1>&3 | tee errors.log) 3>&1 1>&2 | tee output.log) 2>&1 | tee final.log

This does exactly what I want it to.

My only issue is that I create files in my script and copy them somewhere, and I'd like to copy these logfiles there too, which I can't do whilst this script is running. I also wanted to make it easier for any user to run my script, so I created another script to run this script. According to this post (see last post) I can put a . before the script name and I can use variables assigned in my called script from the first script if I use them in the first.

It doesn't seem to work though and I can't figure out why or find alternative methods.

Can anyone help?

Please read the solution presented in the following link:

Answer 2

I've discovered that by using exec I can achieve what I wanted with out the need for a second script, like so:

#!/bin/bash
exec 1>&2-
cmd1
cmd2

Thought it worth posting in case anyone happens upon this question!
