Hello,

I am looking for a way of redirecting the tomcat console output [the System.out.println("xyzabc")�s from the java classes running on the container] to a text file.

The reason is that the programmers need to have that console�s output and the server (windows) have to be rebooted often (no wonder: windows) and then Tomcat start as a service -> console is not visible.

Thanks!

The following is a batch file which starts tomcat and logs the console log into a file based on the system date.
Modify the java_home, tomcat directories and the command line to start tomcat as per your requirements. Hope this will help :-)

@Echo Off
Goto Begin
Echo Writes to a log file with date and time stamp next
Echo to the specified command line parameter.
Echo.
Echo [CALL] LOG logfile [message to be written to logfile with time-stamp]
Echo.
Echo Specify CON as 'logfile' to print the message on the screen.
goto End
