Paul One thing I've done a few times, that may help here, is to create a temporary wrapper script to run some command. That is, go to the executable file location, rename it, say xx.orig, and create a short script named xx, that will start the xx.orig with the debug options you want. You probably want to use as the last arg the form $@ (include the quotes), which will supply any arguments from the script to the real program exactly as they were given to the script. In case there's some std* output from the original that doesn't get written to a log file, you can add this at the top of the script, to capture that output in your own log file: exec /tmp/xx.orig.$$.log 21 Or just put everything after the 'exec' above, after the xx.orig command line. The advantage of using the 'exec' form is that any output the script generates for any problem will also be written to the file (syntax errors, other commands failing, etc). -- Bob McGowan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
