nope, the moment you execute the mv the file handle has moved. switch to cronolog to save you some time, cronolog might recreate the file for you to, so no handle is ever lost, try it before you come back to the list :)

Yes, with mode and owned by user and group 2) Store old rotated logs in Directory Same directory as log file Default (Same directory as log file) 3) Extension for rotated filenames Default Should not this maintain the file handle? -----Original Message----- From: Filip Hanik - Dev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 3:19 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Rotating catalina.out with Webmin if you dont get webmin fixed, I recommend cronolog instead. You cant just rotate it, cause then tomcat loses the file handle, and you will lose all further output. with cronolog you simply pipe it through cronolog like this <your java start command> | /usr/local/sbin/cronolog "$CATALINA_BASE$"/logs/%Y-%m-%d.catalina.out >> /dev/null 2>&1 this will rotate the logs daily Filip ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carlos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 2:05 PM Subject: Rotating catalina.out with Webmin Hi Forum, Could someone recommend settings for using the log rotation of Webmin in order to rotate catalina.out (any cautionary measures)? I just created an entry in Webmin to rotate the catalina.out file weekly with all the default settings (keeping the last four copies). Are there any scripts I should run before or after the rotation is carried out? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
