Agreed.  However, if you really don't have access to the log files,
it may help to put a line like this at the top of your script:

orig_stderr = $stderr; $stderr = File.open("mylog.log", "a"); $stderr.sync = true


This won't help if your code contains a syntax error such that
Ruby can't compile your code at all.  However, it will redirect
*runtime* error output to "mylog.log".   (Obviously you may
need to specify a full path to somewhere on the system you have
permission to create files.  Like "/home/brantley/mylog.log" or
something...)


Hope this helps,
