Remind me again. What side effects ?
I _always_ direct LSPPP/EPPPD output to ppp.log without problem.
I can only go back in this thread to a point where you mentioned SHARE.
I don't use SHARE. Maybe that's the source of your problem ?
Standard output can't be closed. It can only be re-directed.
You CAN elect to not send anything to STDOUT, which is probably what happens
when you close the file handle, but this is not the only (or original) way
to access STDOUT.
Or you can use another output method and do an end run around DOS, but
I don't see why you would want to.
IMHO, _if_ it WAS possible to kill STDOUT, the "cure" would be much
worse than the perceived problem.
