Your welcome!
It is a perl program I wrote myself. I am using the Proc::Daemon. It
is documented here.
http://search.cpan.org/~ehood/Proc-Daemon-0.03/Daemon.pm
The perl program is a server that is controlling a mechanical art
project. It needs to fax home is status every week.

I solved it by using $LOGDIR. It is probably not a good general
purpose solution. I would think that the unix way of doing this is to
have no log at all, unless I ask for it. At the very least it should
not fail if it can't dump the log into the current directory, perhaps
switch over to /dev/null if it can't open up the log file in the
current directory.
Thanks
Jason.
