Hi.
Under tomcat 5.5, a foreign webapp writes to STDOUT and STDERR, clogging up one of the
system logfiles (/var/log/daemon.log).
The tomcat5.5 startup script on this platform runs it under jsvc, and seems to redirect
all its STDOUT and STDERR to the syslog facility, which I suppose directs it to daemon.log.
I'd like to find out how I could catch the STDOUT and STDERR of this webapp specifically
(or otherwise of the corresponding <Host>), to redirect them to some other logfile which I
could rotate or zap separately.
Can someone help ?
