RedirectOutput will send all screen output to the log file. So if you do not output the stuff from a function or command to the screen it will not show in the log file.
No that's fine, the script is going to run as a scheduled task, so won't be seen by anyone anyway.
If this means I won't need to double up on writing to the screen and log seperately and it will capture all SHELL run programs' output, then this is what I want.
I just wanted to check that this is the case, and then if I have to run it manually I can comment out the RedirectOutput line and see everything to screen to troubleshoot.
I know that if there is the something I specifically want to appear on screen I can do a RedirectOutput("") before it, and then return to dumping to the logfile using RedirectOutput($ARCHIVELOG) after the section I want on screen.
