linux - prompt user a message and read input while saving it to a log file -


I have a shell script for which the following things need to be done: 1) To store the shell script in the log file the wanted. 2) Shell script will have to signal the user and read the input with a message.

Example: 

  cat read-test.sh echo -n "What is your name?" Read User_name   
 this script Implemented:  
  ./read-test.sh> & Gt; Read-test.log   
 Expected User Prompt:  
  What is your name? Rajeeee   
 When I send this script to  
 
. / Read-test.sh   
 I output as I  
 But when I send this script to  
 
. / Read-test.sh & gt; & Gt; Read-test.sh   
 "What is your name?" Is saved in the test.log file which I do not want.  
 Is there a way where I can show the user with a message ("What is your name?") And reads the input?   
 
 
 The best answer depends on how you want to redirect in the way, but A possible quick solution would have to change your  echo  line like this:  
  echo -n "What is your name?" & Gt; / Dev / tty
