permissions on log files ?

Then I run custom ipl, the new log files created only have owner read/write permission, no group or other read access. Since the tasks run as users other than myself at times, I cannot check the log.

I know I can go into the PERL and for each logfile, change how it is created. But since sometimes I use open, other times I redirect STDOUT & STDERR, this would be a pain.

So I am looking for the silver bullet. ANyone have one handy ?

TIA

Are you on Unix?

You might be able to make use of the Perl umask() function - I think you could do something like:
umask(0666);
prior to when you create the log file.

Yea, I was planning on that if there is not something easier. I really wanted one place to change a single spot rather than each workflow someone here writes. Thus I was hoping there would be a way to have the WF engine use the default umask fo the owner of the task being executed.

Perhaps create a Perl module for logging routines and tell people to use it rather than rolling their own...
