I have a daemon process that works but I am currently running it with script.pl > error.log 2>&1
and I want to do the same thing without using the redirection,, remove the human error when starting the program. I can `open( STDERR, '>', 'error.log') ...` but is there a piece of magic to duplicate that to STDOUT as well (ie same file output) Ta Ken Foskey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
