Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Where does stdout go?

Hi Pierce,

You might want to take a look at SACrashReporter, which I wrote for  
this situation.
It catches uncatched ruby exceptions logs them and reraises them.
The next time the app launches any new crash logs will be requested to  
be emailed to the developer via a webservice.
http://rucola.rubyforge.org/svn/extras/plugins/SACrashReporter/

There's some docs in: http://rucola.rubyforge.org/svn/extras/plugins/SACrashReporter/lib/SACrashReporter.rb
And you can take a look at the source of LimeChat to see how it should
be integrated in a standard RC application. Especially look at the  
needed values in Info.plist

Cheers,
Eloy
