Hi. I am using a Bourne script like this:

myscript.sh >& myoutput.out

Instead of doing this, is there a command I can put inside my script to
cause it to redirect output in this way?

Thanks!

Ken

[...]

#! /bin/sh -
exec > myoutput.out 2>&1
# the remaining of your script goes here


or

#! /bin/sh -
{
# your script goes here
} > myoutput.out 2>&1

Note that if myoutput.out can't be open for writing, the script
will stop at once and not do anything (which is probably what
you want).
