I don't see the output under Linux

[Stefano Bonnin]

I am a new linux user and I have just installed Tomcat under linux.
I have developed an application and now I am testing it.

Tomcat is installed on a linux server and I try to access it (at my
application) with a windows 98 PC.

I have introduced a System.out.println lines in my application (for the
testing phase), but I don't see theirs output.
I have tried to do this (every time that tomcat is started):

    > ./tomcat start > tomcat.out

without success.

How can I do a right redirect?

Thanks in advance.
