I have Debian Lenny box, where I plan to extensively use start-stop-daemon
. The trouble is, the standard Debian start-stop-daemon
doesn't support output redirection: --stdout
and --stderr
keys, which I want to use to log daemons activity.
Should I just update start-stop-daemon
from sources? I tried apt-get
update process, the version still lacks features. Will it break something in Debian? Or should I compile new start-stop-daemon
to some new directory and use it for my daemons, leaving standard Debian package in place?
I don't want to write .sh
wrapper scripts to each daemon, as there will be many of them.
