so, a funny thing happened in the boot sequence today adduser: add user "user" to group "users" a few of these, and then adduser: no such group as "tomcat8" cannot add user to group tomcat8 - hah

logging is log4j; nothing in /var/log/tomcat9; in /etc/tomcat9/catalina.properties some settings

user@osgeolive:/var/log$ sudo service tomcat9 restart
user@osgeolive:/var/log$ sudo service tomcat9 status
