">>" means to append. ">" means to "write anew".
Or, in short:
$JAVA $VMARGS -jar ofbiz.jar $* &> /dev/null &
Listed twice because there are 2 pipes: standard output and error output. Both need to be sunk
into /dev/null .
The last "&" tells OFBiz to run in the background, so you can log out of your shell and disconnect
from the server without causing OFBiz to stop as well.
Hope the above is right. Tired now late at night.

OK. I changed this line:
$JAVA $VMARGS -jar ofbiz.jar $* >>$OFBIZ_LOG 2>>$OFBIZ_LOG&
to
$JAVA $VMARGS -jar ofbiz.jar $* >>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null&
Not sure why OFBIZ_LOG is listed twice, but I'm no shell script guru.

Skip,
Agreed. I usually redirect console.log to dev null (discard).
Log4J in OFBiz does capture output in rotated logs, so the console.log is just extra. Moreover,
debug messages shouldn't be done with System.out.println.

It is my view that a production server of any sort should never redirect stdout and stderr to a log file because you have no control over it. If you want stdout and stderr, it's fairly simple in java to catch it and write it to a rotating log file. In Ofbiz's case, not everything that goes to stdout and stderr is written to ofbiz.log, but everything of importance is (in my limited experience). console.log is only useful in my view during developement.

Subject: managing the size of console.log
There are two startup options in startofbiz.sh
# start ofbiz
$JAVA $VMARGS -jar ofbiz.jar $* >>$OFBIZ_LOG 2>>$OFBIZ_LOG&
#exec "$JAVA" $VMARGS -jar ofbiz.jar "$@"
We are using the first option, which logs everything to console.log. This appears to be redundant with ofbiz.log. console.log is not rotated, so it gets very large.
Should we use the first option and send everything to /dev/null?
