Dave, Thinking about the logging some more, roller should expand system properties from the roller.properties file, if you modify the entry to below
log4j.appender.roller.File=${catalina.home}/logs/roller.log it should work. I have tested it from the war and will log correctly to the /opt/apache-tomcat/apache-tomcat-roller-8.5.16/logs/roller.log for me.
