Yeah, yeah, let's first close stderr, and then proceed and add some code to handle command line --log=file, and to do logging to that file. Why good ol' fprintf(stderr,...) isn't enough? Why do you want to complicate things? What's so hard in doing "daemon 2>/dev/null &" if you don't want to save log? -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
