On Windows you can set up tomcat as a service. The program that does this (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html) lets you redirect stdout and stderror to files (see -StdOutput and -StdError options).
Is there any way to accomplish this exact same redirection without running tomcat as a service? That is, I want all the output that typically goes to the tomcat console to go to a file instead. If it is not possible, I am curious as to why? -Sam
