how do i do stdout redirection in a child process

[Guest_imported]

I am trying to write a daemon in C, but i cannot get my child process to write to a file, any attempts i have made, make the file but nothing goes in it, i have permissions.<br><br>Any method would be great, just so long as it works!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;stdout redirection would be nice tho.<br><br>Thanks

Try this -- if you closed all the open files inc stdout and stderr - like this:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><b><br>#include &lt;sys/param.h&gt;<br><br>for (i=0; i &lt; NOFILE; i++){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;close(i);<br>}<br></font></b><br>Would the next 3 calls to open() open the file handles 0, 1 and 2? (stdin,stdout,stderr)<br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=
