Subject: CLI issue: Changing STDERR
From: pubaddr2@davyandbeth.com (Davy Durham)

Hey.. seeing as there is not way specified in the docs that I can find, 
I thought I'd email this list as there may be an undocumented way of 
doing it.

On Linux: I'm converting some bash scripts to php.. in the bash scripts 
I sometimes do at the very top:

 "   exec 2>/path/filename "

Which changes where stderr goes because it closes and reopens file 
descriptor 2

I've played around and around with things with some php cli scripts, but 
cannot do it.

Is there a way of changing the actual process's file descriptor 2 to 
something else. (or any fd for that matter)

Thanks,
  Davy
