How to create output(log) file in crontab

following is my crontab file:

#!/bin/csh
setenv ORACLE_HOME /topo1/app/oracle/product/10g
setenv SDEHOME /topo4/arcsde/sdeexe91
setenv ORACLE_BASE /topo1/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_SID plandb
setenv NLS_LANG american_america.UTF8
setenv TNS_ADMIN $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
setenv ORA_NLS33 $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $SDEHOME/lib:$SDEHOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/dt/bin
setenv PATH $SDEHOME/bin:$SDEHOME/etc:$SDEHOME/etc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc
$HOME/bin/copy_to_gsdb.txt

My crontab is working fine and in /var/cron/log there is no error.

I want to create log file to see all the unix command in $HOME/bin/copy_to_gsdb.txt is executed properly. I mean the output file. How can I create it?

Chuck file redirection onto either the command shown or the actual command in the crontab for both stdout and stderr - like command > /tmp/log.txt 2>&1 or, you could check your mail, errors in cron tend to be sent via mail to the user under which they are running.

Thanks Ehlana!!!
I got it. In mail.
Thanks and Regards

HI there,

I need to create a time-stamped log file that records all the user activities of the user and saves them in the log file at a particular location.............

Kindly help me with that.

cron does not tend to permit such variable-based things so you would need to address that issue within your script.
