Bug ID: 64430
Summary: rotating catalina.out (using named pipe)
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.54
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: harald.dun...@aixigo.de
Target Milestone: ----
Created attachment 37239

patch for catalina.sh
AFAICS the code in catalina.sh to rotate catalina.out has been withdrawn with
5.8.39. #53930
Changing the system's logrotate.conf to rotate catalina.out requires root
permission. This might be not an option in some cases.
I would like to suggest a new approach to rotate catalina.out. See attached
patch. The idea is to define CATALINA_OUT_CMD (as for 8.5.38), but this time
catalina.sh creates a named pipe on the fly, to be used instead of a plain file
"catalina.sh". The code about catalina's PID is not changed, i.e. the systemd
users should be happy with the new version.
The default behavior of catalina.sh hasn't been changed (hopefully).
Just a suggestion, of course. Keep on your good work
