Trying to route all my output in a bash script, including set -x output to
a log file during a batch run (really like to see the output when I'm
around as well). I currently use the following early in the script and all
output is routed to the file in variable:

exec &>$TRC_DBG_LOG

Does a decent job, but I would really like to use something like the script
utility that will keep a log for me (listed in advanced bash programming
guide so hoping it is around), and let me watch standard out when I'm there
to watch. I have a hack to use tee, but messing with the --pid= stuff gets
flaky and seems like a hack. Would like to utilize the Unix script utility
in my cygwin bash scripts but I can find it, so I can get out the
challenges with "exec > ...".

So:

a) Once I use exec .. as in above snippet, can it be shut off in same
script (my thought is no), thus
b) is there a unix script utility that I can use under cygwin, and if so
where? A cygwin script utility binary is preferred and I'd smile, but would
accept source.

Regards,
Perry
