That is a really nice trick from Jerold. This extends it a bit:
@echo off
if /I "%1" NEQ "/log" goto :LogIt
set LogFil=%~dpn0.log
shift
echo on
call :LogIt %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 >%LogFil% 2>&1
goto :eof
:LogIt
::your normal batch code
Drawback of this prependable fragment is, it garbles the %0 value and
the /log argument which enables logging has to be the first.
If the count of needed arguments is greater than 9 it won't work either.
The log file is created in the folder where the batch resides.
The log file name can easily be extended with %date%.
Otherwise prepend your batch with this snippet and you have a logging
option.
