Echoing commands when running packages in batch mode

Question

I run Mathematica packages in batch mode. I need a log file showing input commands and displaying their output.

I tried these commands

slogf = OpenWrite["logfile.log"] 
AppendTo[$Output, slogf]
AppendTo[$Echo, slogf]

However, 'logfile' contains only some output.

Any hint?

You may want to redirect messages to the log file too, i.e. add the log file as a destination to $Messages. Take a look at the suggestions here: How to record all the output (including error messages) of a mathematica script in a file?. — MarcoB, Apr 29 '18 at 20:42
Thank you MarcoB. I tried your suggestions, beside those in the previous answer that you quoted. Unfortunately I was not able to obtain echo input in log file, nor error echo. — Flavio Sartoretto, May 01 '18 at 14:43

support@wolfram.com clarified me that batch-processing is different from notebook processing. I partially solved my problem by implementing a shell script, which interprets my packages line-by-line. The inconvenience is that you must provide .m files where each line issues a single, complete command. Have a nice work.
