Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1455

When I was recently debugging a problem for an ncurses program using --debug, I noticed some error messages flashing briefly in the ncurses screen, but it didn't appear among the other debug output when exiting.

Please consider having the debug option output to a file instead of STDERR / STDOUT since those can easily become unreadable. Part of the idea would be to separate the STDERR output of firejail from any STDERR output of the program being sandboxed.

You can use --output=logfile to send all output to a log file.

I tried that, and it wasn't acting that way. If it should be acting that way, then I have another issue to open. Stay tuned a few minutes . . .

I think the fix is in, if necessary we'll reopen the issue.

We have now --output and --output-stderr. The last one also redirects stderr to the file. Ncurses programs should work fine now with --output. Thanks.
