This is weird I fully agree, and I'll try do to something better. There is a way to write to catalina.out without using rsyslogd, it's possible to instruct systemd to write the process output directly to the file by overriding the StandardOutput directive of the service file: StandardOutput=file:/var/log/tomcat9/catalina.out This would go in a /etc/systemd/system/tomcat9.service.d/override.conf file for example. The downside is that you can no longer access the Tomcat output with 'journalctl -t tomcat9', nor see the last lines of the log when displaying the status with 'systemctl status tomcat9'. Ideally systemd should support writing to the journal and to a file simultaneously, with something like StandardOutput=journal+file:... If there is no other way to achieve the same result I'll file an enhancement request on systemd.
