Description

I'm running MacOS 14.3.1.

When I started AnythingLLM from its Contents/MacOS, with open -a AnythingLLM, no stdout or stderr was written to my console. I wondered if my console lost its connection to the running AnythingLLM process, so I tried open --wait-apps -a AnythingLLM. Still nothing was written to my console. Then I tried using the --stderr and --stdout switches to redirect them to the current dir Contents/MacOS, but the app wouldn't even start. I could only see AnythingLLM's stdout and stderr logging when I redirected them to a file in my home dir.

Providing an example command-line, in the "AnythingLLM Debug mode on MacOS" section, might help non-command-line savvy users to see AnythingLLM log info more easily. Something like:

open -a AnythingLLM --stdout ~/anyout.txt --stderr ~/anyerr.txt
