I'm not sure for #1, but for #2 you should use logrotate. You can use it to rotate that log file based on your parameters (size, time, etc). You can also use it to prepend a date too for organization (20100721.console.out). Logrotate can also be used to retain the logs for a certain period of time and flush any older than a certain time limit.
You need to use the killproc <your_prog_name> to get [OK|FAILED|...] message.
or else read /etc/init.d/functions script.
You need to use the function echo_success,echo_<....> from /etc/init.d/functions file, but this dependents upon your on finding of the PID status and call the appropriate function.
Im meaning it will create the log file with date name when i start server . But on next day, I can see new file in folder still logging data to previous day log file. to create new file, i need to restart server
