When you run "bin/catalina.sh start" you are implicitly requesting your stdout/stderr be redirected. If you don't want that to happen, don't run it that way. Try this: $ bin/catalina.sh start | whatever_you_want >> If you want to rotate stdout/stderr logs, you should use jsvc or >> some other service-runner; they will know how to rotate those >> files.

The state of its obsolescence is up to you. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlawupMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDuVACgo8NsBHw1sSvF9VZHB8O4+wIJ 314AnAspyFr8IEMyLlBc+0Pz/+Zoh/bw =b8e0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
