how to delete log files (not append) ?

2005-08-17 Thread Ben Anderson
Hi,
Hopefully this is an easy one...
I'm running tomcat 4.1.31 and would like to have the log files delete
each time I restart tomcat.  Currently it's just appending to the log
files.  Here's a snippet of my server.xml is that helps:

Server port=8005 shutdown=SHUTDOWN debug=0

  Service name=Tomcat-Standalone

Connector className=org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector port=8010
   minProcessors=5 maxProcessors=75 enableLookups=true
   redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 debug=0
   connectionTimeout=2 useURIValidationHack=false
   disableUploadTimeout=true /

Engine name=Standalone defaultHost=localhost debug=0

  Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger
  prefix=catalina_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true/

  Realm className=org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm/

  Host name=localhost debug=0
appBase=c:\work\xerox\clt\trunk\build\webapps
unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true

Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve
   directory=logs prefix=localhost_access_log.
   suffix=.txt pattern=common/

Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger
directory=logs prefix=localhost_log.
suffix=.txt timestamp=true/


Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

You can gain more control over Tomcat's logging process by using a
log4j.properties file. Follow the instructions at

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html

For generating the log file each time you restart the server, add to the
log4j.properties file a new one:

log4j.appender.R.append = false

Marius
