A++ for effort. Thank you. But no working example has been achieved.

tried every combination of 1>&messages.txt 2>&1

Ampersands always become part of the filename.
adding a 1 or a 2 is never accepted - "no rule to make target '2'"
 >>mess.txt = stdout
 >mess.txt >mess2.txt = stdout

"You will see only the commands that make executed."

no working example and no success :-( ( a crying frowny )
