Rails - Dec 2005 - where is WEBrick (daemon mode) output? not in log/server.log

I am running WEBrick in daemon mode (with the -d option). Where is the 
server output that would ordinarily be on my console if I ran without 
the -d option?
APP_ROOT/log/server.log is empty and not being appended to, though it is 
owned by the same user WEBrick is running as and has write permissions.

The only files in APP_ROOT/log are:
development.log
production.log
server.log
test.log

Where else could the output be?
Thanks in advance......

If you''re starting WEBrick with $RAILS_ROOT/script/server, it looks  
like the answer is /dev/null. If you''re using WEBrick.new() directly,  
you should be able to pass in the log_file as the first parameter.

Take a look at the code in your Ruby installation (mine is at /usr/ 
local/lib/ruby/1.8/), under the webrick/ directory. webrick/server.rb  
has code to redirect STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR to /dev/null when  
running in daemon mode. Also, webrick/log.rb defaults to a log_file  
of nil if one is not specified in the WEBrick::Log.new() call, which  
causes log output to go to STDERR. I don''t see a way to pass in an  
option to specify the logfile when starting with script/server.

Anyone else have a line on this? This seems like too basic a thing to  
not be able to do.

This should read "...WEBrick::Log.new()...". Again, I don''t
see a way
to pass a specific log file through from the command line.
