I would like to achieve rotation of the system.out and system.err

using SIGUSR1" I don't know what that means.
Can someone provide a pointer to a more basic explanation for how to
keep these logs rotated?
I'm not a commons-daemon developer, but took a quick look anyway.
I guess your comment about "rotation using SIGUSR1" is referring to this
jira issue:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-95
That issue is still open, so as far as I can see jsvc does NOT support
this.
I can't see any other hint that jsvc supports log rotation, other than
stopping and restarting the service.
Note that a well-designed java app should not be writing much to stdout
or stderr, so log rotation for that shouldn't be all that important. If
you are getting lots of logging output, maybe the logging configuration
for the application itself is misconfigured? Most java apps use either
log4j, logback or java.util.logging's default loggers to write messages
and those can all be configured in various ways.

I am using log4j. Perhaps I need to turn off stdout logging. But there
are still other things being written by support libraries that I've
never been able to figure out how to direct into log4j - Most notably
Hibernate, which logs the SQL to stdout and not to the log4j logs. If I
could figure that out, this would get much less acute.
