An easy -- and if you want to use start-stop-daemon perhaps the only -- way around it is to create a small script containing: | #!/bin/sh | | exec /home/boinc/boinc/boinc > /home/boinc/log/boinc.log and then use that script as the argument to start-stop-daemon. Perhaps the real question however is whether it is really necessary to use start-stop-daemon in the first place?
