You might like to use the -dolog- package, downloadable from SSC. (Type 
-ssc describe dolog- to find out more.)

If you install -dolog- and have a do-file -myprog.do-, with no -log using- 
or -log close- statements, then you can simply type

dolog myprog

and Stata will run -myprog.do-, creating a file -myprog.log-.

I hope this helps.
