In order to override log4j default initialization you can set the
log4j.configuration system property to point to another resource (e.g. in
your dhis2-tools scripts).

This applies whether the default config is set in Java or through a config
file.

See the docs here <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html>, scroll
to "Default Initialization Procedure".
