Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-8232:
---------------------------------------------

If we redirect all our own output away from the console in the background mode 
using log4j, we are expecting that *nothing* will show up in the log file that 
redirects console output. If something does, it will be an unpleasant surprise. 
If we have enough unpleasant surprises to blow up disk space, we have a bigger 
problem.

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: scripts and tools
>    Affects Versions: 5.3
>            Reporter: Upayavira
>            Priority: Minor

> The bin/solr script, when started with bin/solr start, uses this command to 
> start Solr:
> {code} nohup "$JAVA" "${SOLR_START_OPTS[@]}" $SOLR_ADDL_ARGS -jar start.jar \
>         "-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=$SOLR_TIP/bin/oom_solr.sh $SOLR_PORT 
> $SOLR_LOGS_DIR" "${SOLR_JETTY_CONFIG[@]}" \
>         1>"$SOLR_LOGS_DIR/solr-$SOLR_PORT-console.log" 2>&1 & echo $! > 
> "$SOLR_PID_DIR/solr-$SOLR_PORT.pid"
> {code}
> This sends console output to stdout, with no means of rotating the log file, 
> meaning it will eventually fill the drive unless restarted.
> I would propose that stdout be written to dev/null and we use proper means 
> for handling logging, which can do proper log rotation as configured by the 
> user.
