Actually, I'm not--I'm just usually not writing emails at 6:30AM, so I

really have a problem with writing to stdout when running in the
foreground, but who runs their daemons in the foreground? I assume that
the daemontools do?

Well, I would advocate spending a bit of list time figuring out what
needs to get logged where before we try to figure out how it gets
logged.
