I don't think Tomcat outputs much to stdout directly. Is there particular output you are looking capture that isn't being written to the "tc_log"?
If not, you could assing the "tc_log" to a file? In the absence of a "path" on the <LogSetter>, I think the output goes to stderr. The syntax applies to logging done by Tomcat's internal logger classes. It wouldn't apply to stdout being sent directly to a file.
