So, is this an elegant solution to this problem?:

cat elhttp/run
#!/bin/sh
exec > /usr/local/sbin/elhttp/fifo 2>&1
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qftp /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -vDRHl0
-c100 0 8088 /usr/local/bin/elhttp 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
"/usr/local/sbin/elhttp/fifo" 1


cat elhttp-test/log/run 
#!/bin/sh
exec < /usr/local/sbin/elhttp/fifo
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qftplog /usr/local/bin/multilog s1048576
./main
