I have a Perl process which runs on solaris under 5.8.3. It is started with 
the following command:
                su - prlusr -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /d/src/plpoll.pl >> /d/audit/`date 
'+%y%m%d'`.out 2>&1 &"

        I would like to a daily basis at time switchover and after I have completed my 
processing, check to see if the audit log file exists(ie, I would pull in the latest 
time and see if the file say for the 16 Jun: /d/audit/040616.out exists. If it does 
not, then I want to close output to the current log file and reopen.

        What I want to replicate is:

/d/src/plpoll.pl >> /d/audit/`date '+%y%m%d'`.out 2>&1 

        Does the above translate to:

        close(STDOUT);
        close(STDERR);
then
        open(STDOUT, '>>' . $MyNewLog) 
        open(STDERR, '>>' . $MyNewLog)

        There would be error checking on both opens.  Are those closes and opens what 
is needed? if not, ay assistance would be appreciated?  Note: At this point, I don't 
have a test box so trying to get a good idea of what is needed before trying to make 
the changes and insute the processing continues as it should.

      Thanks.

Wags ;)
