Need way to override the boot.log in start scripts
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-9049
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9049
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Logging
    Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Scott Stark
            Assignee: David Lloyd


We need the ability to specify the location of the boot.log. Right now the boot.log location is specified via the org.jboss.boot.log.file java system property, but this is always set to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/boot.log in the server start scripts. This should either not be set and simply default to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/boot.log when unset so that it may be passed into the jvm, or, we need a JBOSS_BOOT_LOG env property that can override this value along the line of:

if [ "x$JBOSS_BOOT_LOG" = "x" ]; then
    JBOSS_BOOT_LOG="$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/boot.log"
fi
while true; do
   if [ "x$LAUNCH_JBOSS_IN_BACKGROUND" = "x" ]; then
      # Execute the JVM in the foreground
      eval \"$JAVA\" $JAVA_OPTS \
         \"-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_BOOT_LOG\" \
...
