Assuming it's a /bin/sh or work-alike script, add the following near
the top of the file:
exec >/tmp/some-file-name 2>&1
That will redirect stdout and stderr of the script to the named file.
Each time the script executes, that file will be overwriten, so you
might want to change '>/tmp/some-file-name' to '>>/tmp/some-file-name'
to keep a cumulative log of all the script output.
Cheers,
Matthew
