rastream fails

[James Grace]

Hi Carter,

I didn't see anything in any of my logs.  The rastream command I'm running
is:

rastream -S localhost -M time 5m -w /home/flows/South/%Y/%m/%d/argus.%H.%M
-D 8 2>/home/flows/rastream.err &


Will this capture the exceptions thrown to stderr appropriately? Or is
there a more 'argus-y' way of doing this?


Thanks,

-james
