Full Discussion: STDOUT and STDERR going to a system log

Power STDOUT and STDERR going to a system log
We are running HP UNIX 11.0, and a patch applied 6 months ago. Ever since the patch, any scripts that run as script_name 1>&2 will write all the output to our /etc/cmcluster/package_name/package_cntl.log which is owned by root
(the permission of the log file is -rwxr----- root sys)

Does anyone know why STDERR is not going to the screen but a log file?

This only happens when a certain user run this command.
