Dominic,

Can't you just redirect the output of the command and send it to the
background.

something like:

emerge [emerge parameters] >mylogfile & >&1

when you run this you will get the process is that is created.

e.g.

[root at LAE082LX01 pturner]# ls -la >./xx & >&1
[1] 32030
[root at LAE082LX01 pturner]# more ./xx
total 88
drwxr-xr-x    4 pturner  developer     4096 Oct 16 13:57 .
drwxrwxr-x   31 root     developer     4096 Oct 14 09:16 ..
-rw-------    1 pturner  developer    16366 Oct 16 10:52 .bash_history

-rw-r--r--    1 pturner  developer     3511 Sep 11 09:17 .screenrc
drwx------    2 pturner  developer     4096 Sep 11 09:45 .ssh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 pturner  developer      200 Sep 24 11:33 test.sh
-rw-------    1 pturner  developer     7871 Oct 15 10:32 .viminfo
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root            0 Oct 16 13:57 xx
[1]+  Done                    ls --color=tty -la >./xx
[root at LAE082LX01 pturner]#

p.s. you may also want to redirect stderr as well as stdout.

Regards paul.
