Thanks for the response shamrock. I looked into it but was still unable to get this working. Im using PERL and the POSIX module has a dup2() that is suppose to mimic the c function.

Is there any easy way to determine the File Desc of the old log file? I was hoping i could just enter the path of the oldfile and the path of the new and the function would take care of the rest.

Thanks again for the help

NAME
explain_dup2_or_die - duplicate a file descriptor and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/dup2.h> void explain_dup2_or_die(int oldfd, int newfd); DESCRIPTION
The explain_dup2_or_die function is used to call the dup2(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_dup2(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: explain_dup2_or_die(oldfd, newfd); oldfd The oldfd, exactly as to be passed to the dup2(2) system call. newfd The newfd, exactly as to be passed to the dup2(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
dup2(2) duplicate a file descriptor explain_dup2(3) explain dup2(2) errors exit(2) terminate the calling process COPYRIGHT
