Dear monks,

My threaded Perl program is included in the run level scripts. The full path of the program is mentioned like so in /etc/rc3.d/SXXnetmon : 

/usr/local/sbin/authdev.pl &

The threaded Perl program redirects all STDOUT and STDIN to a log file with these commands: 

# Opening log file.
# Redirecting OUTPUT and ERR to log file for all threads
open OUTPUT, '>>', "/usr/local/xxx/log/lease.log" or die $!;
open ERROR,  '>>', "/usr/local/xxx/log/lease.log"  or die $!;
STDOUT->fdopen( \*OUTPUT, 'w' ) or die $!;
STDERR->fdopen( \*ERROR,  'w' ) or die $!;

My question is:

  • Are STDOUT and STDERR defined for the program when the scripts are started using run-levels.
