Re: Diff to redirect System.err to a logfile!

[Jeff Turner <je...@socialchange.net.au>]

Yes, there were problems with 3.2beta Tomcat RPMs not sending
stderr/stdout anywhere. It's fixed in tomcat-3.2-*.rpm.

Specifically, if one invoked tomcat with `/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat start`,
stderr and stdout didn't end up in /var/log/messages as expected. I think
it's a bug with 'initlog'. Anyway, the workaround is to change the 
line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat:

daemon tomcat start

to:

initlog -c "tomcat run" &


Or just upgrade RPMs :)
