Using the `open` command in Terminal is the same as double-clicking its icon in
Finder: It tells Launch Services to start GnuCash either with no stdin, stdout,
or stderr or with stdout and stderr connected to Console.app depending on macOS
version. To have a stdin, stdout, and stderr connection to the shell running in
Terminal you must run GnuCash directly; if you installed it in /Applicattions
you'd use
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
By default GnuCash writes its log to a file named gnucash.trace. This is most
easily accessed using an environment variable $TMPDIR, so you could use
less $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace
to read it. On macOS and other unix platforms it is overwritten with every
launch of GnuCash. You can read more about it at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile>.
To get GnuCash to write to the terminal, pass --logto=stderr on the terminal
command above. More information about how to configure logging may be found at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging>.
