This should work, and we can make it part of RPM/DEB builds.
1. Create this file
/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat
2. Copy the following contents into the above file
/var/log/cloudstack/management/catalina.out {
copytruncate
daily
rotate 7
compress
missingok
size 5M
}

In that case, we can use native system log rotate daemon.
If no objections, I can take this on.

For log4j log files, we are using the rotation facility offered by log4j.
catalina.out may be a problem here, I think it is created in using shell
redirection
