Vince It is my view that a production server of any sort should never redirect stdout and stderr to a log file because you have no control over it. If you want stdout and stderr, it's fairly simple in java to catch it and write it to a rotating log file. In Ofbiz's case, not everything that goes to stdout and stderr is written to ofbiz.log, but everything of importance is (in my limited experience). console.log is only useful in my view during developement.

This appears to be redundant with ofbiz.log. console.log is not rotated, so it gets very large. Should we use the first option and send everything to /dev/null?
