Echoing script commands

[grega]

If I have a shell script myscript.sh, and I execute it using myscript.sh > myscript.out 2>&1 all works fine.

Is there a way to tell the shell to echo each command that it executes within that script to the output file also?

e.g if the script contains the commands

whoami
rm afile

I'd like the script to echo the command to the o/p file as it runs through each one. At the moment I have to do

echo "whoami"
whoami
echo "rm afile"
rm afile

I always do this ... you need to do a set -x at the start of the script.
