Not by default, to my knowledge, but if you specify a -logfile option to 
the command line, it will.  E.g., in the script I have, I call orca this 
way (as mentioned in an email on this thread on 2/9):

orca -daemon -logfile $ORCAHOME/${hostname}-orca.out 
/npd/dmichael/orca-522/etc/orcallator.cfg &

If your scipt doesn't set up those variables (ORCAHOME, hostname), 
you'll need to be more explicit, of course.

When you look for orca processes, you might need to use "/usr/ucb/ps 
auxww | grep orca".  I've found sometimes "ps -ef" isn't wide enough to 
catch the orca string of some processes.  If orca is dying shortly after 
you start it, check the logfile you specified with -logfile.

You can run orca without -daemon, in which case, it'll run in the 
foreground.  You can also specify -v to get more verbose output (more 
-v's will produce more verbose output).  These options are further 
described in the Orca manpages <http://www.orcaware.com/orca/docs.html>, 
which are installed when you install Orca--in your case, to your 
/usr/local/orca5/man directory (so you can run "man -M 
/usr/local/orca5/man orca", or add /usr/local/orca5/man to your MANPATH 
variable and type 'man orca').

Thus, you may find it useful for trial&error purposes to run orca 
manually using:

/usr/local/orca5/bin/orca -v -v -v /usr/local/orca5/etc/orcallator.cfg

This should be very verbose about what it's doing, and how it's dying 
(if it is).

Cheers,
