trace should be sendable to a file
[1/2] from: princepawn::lycos::com at: 5-Sep-2000 11:55
I am developing a script for use at very remote locations. Thus, to debug it, I need
to have trace logs sent to me.
Ideally, the script would run, dump its trace to a file and just before termination ftp
the trace log to my machine.
However, it appears that trace output only goes to STDOUT, which means I would have to
wrap the call to my script in something redirects STDOUT to a file and then FTPs the
file to me when the child script is finished.
