Initial logging output of wrapper is missing

[vinjana]

All the logging output that should be produced with set -x, up to the line RODDY_SCRATCH is set to ... is missing from the STDERR log files.

The problem was cause by incorrect redirections using the single > operator to /dev/stderr. Apparently, this reopens the output stream and only the last /dev/stderr file handle is returned to PBS/LSF to be returned as standard error.

In the future, use

• Use append operator >> /dev/stderr
• Globally redirect stdout and stderr to stderr with exec 1>&2
• Locally redirect all output to stderr with >&2 $command
