We are running HP UNIX 11.0, and a patch applied 6 months ago. Ever since the patch, any scripts that run as script_name 1>&2 will write all the output to our /etc/cmcluster/package_name/package_cntl.log which is owned by root
(the permission of the log file is -rwxr----- root sys)
Does anyone know why STDERR is not going to the screen but a log file?
This only happens when a certain user run this command.

Hello,
What patch did you apply and what user is running the script? Is it being run via cron?
I tried running a simple script on my system with 1>&2 and didn't really see it redirect anything anywhere. I think what you meant was 2>&1. I tried running the script with just 2>&1 as well and it did nothing. What I normally do is run the script and redirect like this:
./script >> logfile.log 2>&1
This will place STDERR and STROUT into the logfile.log.
Good Luck,
Tony
