[PATCH] error_routine: use parent's stderr if exec fails

The new process's error output may be redirected elsewhere, but if the exec fails, output should still go to the parent's stderr. This has already been done for the die_routine. Do the same for error_routine. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <redacted> --- On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 09:36:52PM +0200, Johannes Sixt wrote:
This change is not good enough: There is no guarantee that this message goes to the right channel (stderr in the child can be redirected).
Ah, good point. I skipped over that part thinking it was not relevant. This should take care of it. Clemens git-compat-util.h | 2 ++ run-command.c | 15 +++++++-------- usage.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
