Evidently I was still confused when I wrote that!  I had forgotten that I
had changed ptal-printd to send its messages to standard error rather than
standard output, which was what you were getting at.  So the syntax you
suggested above ("ptal-printd >& foo.txt") is correct after all.  Other
commands I tried that also work include "ptal-printd &>foo.txt" and
"ptal-printd 2>foo.txt" (which is what I typically use).  It would only be
necessary to include the final ampersand if you want it to start in the
background, which isn't needed when running ptal-printd with no parameters,
because it exits right away anyway.

Sorry about the misinformation!  :-)
