I don't know if I have understood you correctly and completely.
 I am an old timer and Linux may have changed things as compared to UNIX.
A daemon is supposed to run in the background. Typically, when you put
something to
run in the background, Unix would send the standard output to... standard
output.

Now, if you do "nohup something.gambas", standard outuput will to to
"nohup.out".
But, if you do "nohup something.gambas >x &" or "something.gambas >x",
standard output wll be sent to "x".

In any case, if you don't want to preserve any output, you should redirect
stderr and
stdout to /dev/null.

I would guess that a daemon started at startup or by cron would give the
same result.
Am I wrong?
