If you are really using this as a CGI script (from a web browser) then you
wouldn't want to "1>/dev/null" or you'd get no report.

Because anything run from a CGI script that is sent to STDERR will go to the
error log.

Apparently your CGI system is working aroung the redirections (ignoring them)
as you are, I assume, getting some output on your browser.

I don't think Analog is generating that message. When you run this from the
command line,
/analog-4.04/analog -G -m -d +g/logs/analog.conf logfile $loglocation
do you get that message?
