starting app command not working correctly?

[Shocker]

Happy new year everybody!

One quick question. Can anyone tell me why this command:

/usr/bin/freepopsd -vv > /home/shocker/Desktop/Freepopsd.log

doesn't write the log in the Desktop folder?

It's written exactly like that in the Ubuntu startup program control panel and according to the ps command I understand it's correctly running:

$ ps aux | grep freepopsd
shocker 1676 0.0 0.1 227264 9128 ? S 13:22 0:00 /usr/bin/freepopsd -vv > /home/shocker/Desktop/Freepopsd.log

What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Try writing a script, make it executable and put it in your /etc/init.d folder.


#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/freepopsd -vv > /home/shocker/Desktop/Freepopsd.log

Hello, I tried your advice unfortunately with no results. This is what I made:

I copied your script into a new text file,
Saved it as freepopsd and made it executable through the props window.
I moved this file to the /etc/init.d and, after removing the service startup call from the startup programs, I restarted the PC.
Unfortunately after logging in I noticed that the program didn't even start up this time.
Trying to call it by the shell (/etc/init.d/freepopsd) made the program run again but it didn't start writing the log in my Desktop either...

There must be something strange in the command line...

Thanks for any further help!
