redirect output boot script

hy,
i have a python script. It works.
example:

Code:

---

#!/usr/bin/env python
print "hello world"

---

i have put this script in the startup applications (system -> preference -> startup application)

i don't know if this script work at the boot. there is a way to redirect the output in a file?

This is my /home/user/.config/autostart/script.desktop file:

Code:

---

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=python /home/user/.scrscript/.script.py &> /home/user/log.txt
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[it_IT]=example
Name=example
Comment[it_IT]=python
Comment=python

---

Code:

---

Exec=python /home/user/.scrscript/.script.py > /home/user/log.txt 2>&1 &

---

This doesn't work for me (12.04)

Code:

---

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=firefox file:///opt/peace/index.html?datamode=7 > /var/log/peace/firefox.log 2>&1 &
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_NZ]=firefox
Name=firefox
Comment[en_NZ]=
Comment=

---

Code:

---

ls -l /var/log

...
drwxrwxrwx 2 usr1              usr1    4096 Apr 20 20:27 peace
...

---

I tried with and without trailing ampersand (which is assumed anyway as it's startup apps are backgrounded tasks)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Anybody got any thoughts?

Well, firefox writing nothing on standard output when starting up is normal. What are you trying to log?

I use window.dump from firefox and it outputs fine when run directly from a shell. Fair point, but I do expect valid output from firefox in this instance. Thanks

Still unresolved. Any further advice?
