I think this may be a shell usage problem. File descriptor (fd) 3 is not open by default. Only the standard file descriptors are; see stdin(3)[1]. The bug script redirects its standard output to fd 3. It is the responsibilty of the calling environment to open that fd. You could write a small wrapper script that opens fd 3, directs it to a file, and then executes the bug script. $ cat > bugwrap #!/bin/sh exec 3> /tmp/script.log exec /usr/share/bug/xorg/script ^D $ chmod 600 bugwrap $ sudo ./bugwrap Regards, Branden [1] in the manpages-dev package
