redirecting sdtout/sdterr in a daemon

[Dave Kuhlman]

Possibly your output is being buffered and is not being flushed.

If that's the problem, then consider using something like the
following:

# ====================
class Output:
    def __init__(self, infilename):
        self.infilename = infilename
    def write(self, msg):
        f = open(self.infilename, 'a')
        f.write(msg)
        f.close()

sys.stdout = Output('mylog.log')
# ====================


You can also use 'flush' instead of opening and closing for each
write.

You can even do sys.stdout.flush().

By the way, is outputhandle in you code really a string and the
name of the output file?  It should be.
