Looks like windows will work the same as unix in the regard.
So from a cmd window you'd have to do
statup.bat 1>out.log 2>err.log

Okaym i'm not sure you can do that easily. The problem is that when you start tomcat it forks a java process to actually run tomcat in, hence you get a new console window appearing. You'd have to figure out how to get java running in process, which might be a little difficult. CWhy do you need it righting to stdout and sterr? Can't you just tail the log files in the logs dir?– DecadoMar 18, 2011 at 11:42

If started as a Windows service, you can configure the file locations for the stdout and stderr messages from the Service Manager.
This link has a screenshot and reference. See section "Testing #2"
