[PATCH] error_routine: use parent's stderr if exec fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The new process's error output may be redirected elsewhere, but if
the exec fails, output should still go to the parent's stderr. This
has already been done for the die_routine. Do the same for
error_routine.

Ah, good point. I skipped over that part thinking it was not
relevant.  This should take care of it.
