So I would rather keep it this way. The user can always change the init script to send those messages elsewhere. > and ship with a log4j file that > sends tomcat logging to a file, say /var/log/tomcat5.5/tomcat.log, The default setup splits the logs for each app to a separate file. Do you mean those should be merged into one log file only? I have this on my relatively new install: ~$ ls /var/log/tomcat5.5/ admin.2007-10-25.log catalina.2007-11-01.log localhost.2007-10-31.log admin.2007-10-26.log host-manager.2007-10-25.log localhost.2007-11-01.log admin.2007-10-31.log host-manager.2007-10-26.log manager.2007-10-25.log admin.2007-11-01.log host-manager.2007-10-31.log manager.2007-10-26.log catalina.2007-10-25.log host-manager.2007-11-01.log manager.2007-10-31.log catalina.2007-10-26.log localhost.2007-10-25.log manager.2007-11-01.log catalina.2007-10-31.log localhost.2007-10-26.log I agree that something could be done about the rotation. The datestamps are just irritating since they interfere with tab completion. Can we just remove the datestamps, and have logrotate do the rotation? (Provided it doesn't require server restart, that would be bad.)
