Bash Script Will not Print out to Console

How do I get a bash script to print out to my putty console when run. I thought I am supposed to use Echo but My script below only gives me a blank terminal when executed yet still works as planned?

#!/bin/bash
exec 3>&1 4>&2
trap 'exec 2>&4 1>&3' 0 1 2 3
if [ -e /var/log/s3extractLog.log ]
then exec 1>>/var/log/s3extractLog.log 2>&1
else touch /var/log/s3extractLog.log exec 1>>/var/log/s3extractLog.log 2>&1
fi

fi
function ISOCopy { echo "Error: Failed to extract ISO from network share" exit
}
function extractFunc { # Extract the first installer ISO to local if [ -e /home/s3user/isoFromExt/EXTRACTED_PACKAGES/$viaver/syngo.via-VB30A-Installer1-$viaver.iso ] then echo "VIA Installer1 Found" #echo "Copying Installer-1 ISO from Share" #rsync -av --progress /home/s3user/isoFromExt/EXTRACTED_PACKAGES/$viaver/syngo.via-VB30A-Installer1-$viaver.iso /home/s3user/extractedISOs/$viaver/ #echo "Copying ISO Completed!" echo "Starting to EXTRACT the Installer-1 ISO" sleep 3 cd /home/s3user/isoFromExt/EXTRACTED_PACKAGES/$viaver 7z x -y syngo.via-VB30A-Installer1-$viaver.iso -o/home/s3user/extractedISOs/$viaver/MBox/ echo "Installer-1 Extraction Complete" else echo "Required ISO File Not Found.

}
exit 0

As @Glenn Jackman already mentioned, you redirect everything with exec to the logfile.

If you want to log and print it on stdout, you could use a substitution.

exec 1> >(tee -a /var/log/s3extractLog.log) 2>&1

Or, since you are using bash

exec &> >(tee -a var/log/s3extractLog.log)
