Erick ,
I asked this question a while ago but received no satisfactory reply;
so here is what what I managed to work out myself. I use Unix and
this is works perfectly. I often open up a session and tail -f the
tomcat.err log. I also have a Servlet written that allows me to
remotely view 'n' lines of any of the logs inside a web browser. So
if I am off site I can dump the contents of the error logs on demand
(without the need of an SSH client) from any machine. Basic stuff but
really useful.
This may wrap onto a couple of lines in your email, but it is one
line. The log file that I end up watching is tomcat.err that has the
most interesting info. Not that I have any errors in my code that
need trapping!
Good luck, let me know if this works for you Erick.
