jsvc and logging
Dear All, I'd be grateful for some help with jsvc and logging. I've spent a whole morning googling but without success so I'm turning to the Tomcat mailing list. My logs are all going into the syslog, which is not the best solution. I would like to see tomcat logs in the usual tomcat /logs folder The tomcat daemon is started like this: $DAEMON -user $TOMCAT6_USER -cp $JSVC_CLASSPATH \ -outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG \ -pidfile $CATALINA_PID $JAVA_OPTS $BOOTSTRAP_CLASS But if I try to change the -outfile and -errfile parameters tomcat doesn't start and I get a message saying: No class specified Cannot parse command line arguments I've tried every possible combination of entries for these parameters, but to no avail. Such as: -outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err -outfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out -errfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.err -outfile /var/lib/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out -errfile /var/lib/tomcat6/logs/catalina.err Any help would be much appreciated. Regards, Malcolm Warren

Re: jsvc and logging
Dear Hassan, Thank you very much for your reply. I've found my mistake - a stupid one - I forgot the trailing back slash indicating a continuing line of the command. And it now all seems to be working.
