[Rubycocoa-talk] Where does stdout go?

[Pierce T. W. I. <pi...@tw...>]

Or really, how do I redirect it?


  Why:

   So when I'm debugging my rubycocoa app, I always launch it from the  
command line because the ruby backtrace is my most useful debugging  
tool.

   Recently, I intergrated someone elses crash reporting tool, but so  
far, the crash reports aren't useful because they always look like this:

0   libobjc.A.dylib                	0x90a59380 objc_msgSend + 16
1   com.apple.rubycocoa            	0x0004545b rbobj_call_ruby + 1844
2   com.apple.rubycocoa            	0x000446b0 install_ovmix_hooks +  
5630
3   com.apple.rubycocoa            	0x00042bc2  
ovmix_register_ruby_method + 2472
4   com.apple.Foundation           	0x927f1468 - 
[NSObject(NSForwardInvocation) forward::] + 469

That is, they're objective-C backtraces.

So what I'd like to do is basically startup my app with stdout  
redirected to a file in /tmp, and then if the app crashes, I can have  
the crashreporter email that (currently it sends console.log, which  
isn't very useful).

  How can I do that easily?
