Where the stdout and the stderr have been redirected in the tomcat debian package installation?

Easy! On the syslog (/var/log/syslog). This made me crazy for a while. Actually because I've never took the time to look at the obvious thing: /etc/init.d/tomcat6.

Look at these lines:

$DAEMON -user "$TOMCAT6_USER" -cp "$JSVC_CLASSPATH" \
-outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG \
-pidfile "$CATALINA_PID" $JAVA_OPTS "$BOOTSTRAP_CLASS"

Is the reason explained here correct?
Any other reference?
