in reply to Re^2: Daemon, log4perl & stderr/stdout
in thread Daemon, log4perl & stderr/stdout

Works for me 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Proc::Daemon          qw( );
use File::Basename        qw( dirname );
use File::Spec::Functions qw( rel2abs );

my $homedir;
BEGIN { $homedir = dirname(rel2abs($0)); }

{
   Proc::Daemon::Init;
   chdir($homedir);
   open STDERR, '>', 'stderr.txt';
   system(q{perl -e'print STDERR "mwuhahahaha\n"'});
}

    Actually, this works perfectly. For some reason it wasn't working yesterday but it is working today with no code changes. I must have been running an older version or something.

    This is great to just redirect stderr & stdout to individual logs. I'm going to explore the first answer to my question on getting this working with log4perl.

    Thanks for your time & replies.
