Batch Script Logging
Batch Script Logging
In Batch Script, logging is possible by using the redirection command.
Syntax
example.bat > examplelog.txt 2> exampleerrors.txt
Example
For example, create a file called example.bat
and enter the following command in the file:
net statistics /Server
The previous command has an error because the net statistics command option was given incorrectly.
So, if the command with the above example.bat
file is run as:
example.bat > examplelog.txt 2> exampleerrors.txt
And you open the file exampleerrors.txt, you will see the following error.
The option /SERVER is unknown.
The syntax of this command is:
NET STATISTICS
[WORKSTATION | SERVER]
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3506.
If you open the file called examplelog.txt, it will show you a log of what commands were executed:
C:\>net statistics /Server
