I assume you are using the example configs shipped with solr...

You can modify the jetty configs (/example/etc/jetty.xml) to send  
output to a file rather then stdout.  Check:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/StdErrStdOut

Depends....   how often does your data change?  do you know what  
changed?  There are lots of options for how to get data into solr.   
post.sh and post.jar are just simple examples -- they may not be  
approprate when things get more complex.

Have you checked:
* solrj - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj
* csv -- http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateCSV
* DataInportHandler -- http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler
