Try something as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
LOGFILE=/var/log/test12.log
log(){
message="$@"
echo $message
echo $message >>$LOGFILE
}
log "This is a test!"

Above script does the same. Otherwise use logger command:

Dear
I've tried it and it works but i've to create another file. e.g., Code:
#!/bin/bash
LOGFILE=test12.log
q=`/path/to/script.sh`
log(){
echo "$(date +%c) $*" >>$LOGFILE
}
log "$q"

A better approach may be
HTML Code:
/path/to/script.sh > /path/to/log.file
