在Linux系统中，Tomcat 启动后默认将很多信息都写入到catalina.out 文件中，我们可以通过tail -f catalina.out 来跟踪Tomcat 和相关应用运行的情况。 在windows下，我们使用startup.bat启动Tomcat以后，会发现catalina日志与Linux记录的内容有很大区别，大多信息只输出到屏幕而没有记录到catalina.out里面。
本文的内容就是要实现在windows下，将相关的控制台输出记录到后台的catalina.out文件中以便将来查看。
关于在Windows2003下如何实现类似Linux下tail命令功能的方法，请见让windows也拥有tail功能一文
把控制台的信息输出到%CATALINA_BASE%\logs\catalina.out里：
一、修改startup.bat中
call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
为
call "%EXECUTABLE%" run %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
二、修改catalina.bat中
