[GEMPAK #DXU-148885]: Detecting a GEMPAK program error

Hi Ryan,

What you're wanting sounds like standard error directed outside the script to a 
log file.  

At the top of your bash file add the lines

log=$$.log
exec > $log 2>&1

then run the script as you would normally.  output will be written to 
[ProcessID].log in the present working directory, which you can then view or 
parse for errors.  You may want to change $log to a static file and use "exec 
>> $log 2>&1" to append to this file whenever the script is run.

I tested this on some short gempak bash scripts here and it seems to work well. 
 Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Michael
