My Shell script include series of steps for example first step

App=  read -p "### Please enter Application name " 
Env = read -p "### Enter Enviornment name (Dev,test)"

second step

cd /opt/Weblogic/
mkdir $App
mkdir $Env

Third Step 

cp /tmp/weblogic/* /opt/weblogic/$App/$Env/*

So my question is how can I record what user is entering each time? Is there a way I can store the user the whole input and output to something call temp.txt? This way I can review to find out which user has enterred which input.

I hope my question is clear.

You could wrap it all in a subshell and tee or tee -a to output to temp.txt.

e.g.

(
read -p "### Please enter Application name " App
read -p "### Enter Enviornment name (Dev,test)" Env
echo "App: $App"
echo "Env: $Env"

cd /opt/Weblogic/
mkdir $App
mkdir $Env

cp /tmp/weblogic/* /opt/weblogic/$App/$Env/*

) | tee -a temp.txt

The -a on tee will append to the temp.txt for each execution. You can remove it if you want it to start fresh each time.
