Solution: You can change log locations of various logs in CQ by changing following files


Note that Whole CQ (Till CQ5.4) is composed of three different application (Which you can see under <host>:<port>/admin,
CRX
CQSE
Launchpad
And each of them has different logging in corresponding logs folder.

CRX/CQ -- Under /crx-quickstart/logs
CQSE -- under /crx-quickstart/server/logs -- You change this location through server.xml (see for log-file-name value)
launchpad -- under /crx-quickstart/launchpad/logs -- You change this location under /crx-quickstart/launchpad/sling.properties (see for org.apache.sling.commons.log.file value)
/crx-quickstart/server/logs/startup.log file location is defined under /crx-quickstart/server/serverctl file. Look for CQ_LOG="${CQ_LOG:-"$CQ_LOGDIR/startup.log"}". Note that you can override this in start script as well.
