Yes but that's still Tomcat relying on jsvc or in my case start-stop-daemon. Something EXTERNAL to Tomcat. That doesn't effect say Tomcat out of the box when started via catalina.sh. Again, other properties are being set in Bootstrap jar. I am specifically asking if there is reason to not redirect stdout/stderr there via system properties. Which would eliminate needing to do it external of Tomcat be it shell redirection, jsvc, start-stop-daemon or etc. I am NOT looking for suggestions are alternatives like jsvc. I am SPECIFICALLY asking if Tomcat Developers have considered doing the redirection internally in Bootstrap or not. If it's been discussed, the pros and cons. If it hasn't been discussed if it could be, and/or taken under consideration for addition in future versions. After thinking about it myself. I think I will likely take this approach with most of my apps. I can surely made the mods to Bootstrap.java and provide that via a patch on Gentoo. But I don't want to deviate from upstream without at least discussing it first. I am not looking to engage in a discussion of how to do this external to tomcat via jsvc, bash/shell rediction, start-stop-daemon, or other external means. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
