I would like to log all error messages that the commands in a Bash script contains.

The problem is that if I have to add

E=$( ... 2>&1 ); echo $E >> $LOG

to all commands, then the script will become quite hard to read.

Is it somehow possible to get a global variable, so all STDERR becomes STDOUT?
