If you use ubuntu packages, you can change the existing cd in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 (or the equivalent). Or chmod  $CATALINA_BASE, which is where it cd-s to out of the box.

There you could silence velocity logging, route it to sysout or identify the file to log to.

Shouldn't we somehow handle the velocity log settings in the default
log4j configuration?  Before silencing, has anybody ever looked at
what velocity has been trying to say here?  I'm a bit curious ...

Is there a way to either configure the logging system not to log messages from velocity (there are a bunch), or to simply provide a path to a directory which I actually want the logs to go to?
