Hi all.

I am creating a plugin that uses the daemons gem to run some code in the  
background. In that code, I call Rails.logger.info “message”, but  
receive the following error.

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active\_support/buffered\_logger.rb:99:in  
`write’: closed stream (IOError)

Anyone seen this before and have any idea what’s going on?

Thanks,  
Chris
