Hi guys,

Am I correct to assume that the stderr of all running programs ends up in the Unix Console and stdout goes to the shell (terminal window) you used to load the program?
And... am I correct to assume that, if a program was launched from the desktop, its stdout also goes to the Console?

The reason why I am asking is...
I'm struggling a bit with Motif and I don't want to delay functionality, so I'm creating a quick CLI to set some basic parameters that I will later incorporate into menus, and I'd like this CLI to be bound to the terminal window where the program was launched from, and perhaps stderr to go to the Console.

Are there specific guidelines or each program and developer did it their own way?

Thanks, as always.
