Chris,
I cant thank you enough for all your help. If only there was a rating system on this forum! ;)

thing is, I am not using ant System.out commands in my app. I have log4j set up in the app which is logging to a different log file that rolls nightly. But I am seeing the same log messages (info level from the application) being dumped into catalina.out, so these are definitely not System.out logs.
any idea how to turn off logging these log4j messages to catalina.out?
I do have a log4j.properties file in CATALINA_HOME/common/classes (attached for your reference). Other than that, I do not know how the log messages are ending up in catalina.out

thanks,
-Riz.

You can't roll catalina.out. I read that thread, and the response you
got that said "don't log to stdout" was right: just don't do it. Since
you are using log4j already, have log4j log to a different log file that
/does/ roll. You shoudln't have any System.out or System.err usage in
your webapp.

I'll answer this one separately. Look for a followup post.
