I use a script because of the tee. The script looks like

# cat inkernel
#! /bin/sh
cd /usr/src
make installkernel KERNCONF=TOPAZ 2>&1 | tee 
/var/log/build/ikernel-`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.log

The make line is all 1 line but kmail is folding it. I have one for 
mkworld, mkkernel, inkernel, and inworld. I figured that mistyping a 
script name was immediately noticeable and nothing would start until I 
corrected my mistake. 

I added the ../build directory to /var/log and log the entire update 
process. It is a 1.5 GB fs and I have to clean up once in awhile. Since 
they accumulate, you can see how far along the build is by adding 
aliases that look like

alias llbk      'll /var/log/build/bk*'
alias llbw      'll /var/log/build/bw*'
