$stderr is a file descriptor. You can reopen the descriptor to any other valid descriptor: file, socket, pipe, unix socket, etc.

For any of the loggers you mentioned above, get a hold of the internal descriptor the logger is using and then ....

new_fd = logger.get_logger_file_descriptor
$stderr.reopen new_fd
