Hello all!

I have a problem with port JBoss72, which tries to behave as long-standing
port jboss5:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/java/jboss5/files/jboss5.in?revision=302141&view=markup



In rc run script there is such line:

%%APP_SHORTNAME%%_logging="${%%APP_SHORTNAME%%_logging:-">>
${%%APP_SHORTNAME%%_logdir}/stdout.log 2>>
${%%APP_SHORTNAME%%_logdir}/stderr.log"}"

Which provides way to overwrite default log location in /etc/rc.conf.

But this not working at all, all these redirects treated as simple
parameters for run script.

I made small test, to show my problem:

#!/bin/sh

logfile="supposed-to-be.log"
log=">> ${logfile}"
echo "a1" >> ${logfile}
echo "a2" ${log}
cmd="echo \"a3\" ${log}"
echo $cmd
$cmd
more ${logfile}

Here's execution output:

# ./t1.sh
a2 >> supposed-to-be.log
echo "a3" >> supposed-to-be.log
"a3" >> supposed-to-be.log
a1

1. My question is - Which are correct way to specify such redirects to be
overridden?

2. tomcat6.in, rubyrep.in, tclhttpd.in, geoserver.in, and many more rc
scripts from ports are using something like this:

log_args=">> ${tclhttpd_stdout_log} 2>> ${tclhttpd_stderr_log} "

and after that use $log_args.

Are they silently broken, or am I missing something?

3. Should I build up $cmd, and run
eval "$cmd" - would this be nice ro dirty hack?

Thanks!
