Like the following?
=====
#!/bin/sh
#
/bin/mkdir /tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync

/usr/bin/layman -S

/usr/bin/eix-sync

/usr/bin/glsa-check -d $(/usr/bin/glsa-check -t all) > 
/tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_glsa.log

/bin/mail -e -s "Portage Sync [GLSA-log]" memyselfandi@example.org < 
/tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_glsa.log

/bin/rm /tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_glsa.log

/usr/bin/emerge -pvauD --newuse world > 
/tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_emerge.log

/bin/mail -e -s "Portage Sync [EMERGE-list]" memyselfandi@example.org < 
/tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_emerge.log

/bin/rm /tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync/portage_sync_emerge.log

/bin/rmdir /tmp/ABBAABBA_portage_sync

In the above script, I put an empty line between each command for readability.

This is what I run on my system.
