Hi Forum,
Could someone recommend settings for using the log rotation of Webmin in
order to rotate catalina.out (any cautionary measures)? I just created an
entry in Webmin to rotate the catalina.out file weekly with all the default
settings (keeping the last four copies). Are there any
$/logs/%Y-%m-%d.catalina.out /dev/null 21
this will rotate the logs daily

if you dont get webmin fixed, I recommend cronolog instead
I found that logrotate is the easiest.

Hi Filip,
I set-up the Webmin Log Rotation entry to the following:
1) Re-create log file after rotation? Yes, with mode and owned by user
and group
2) Store old
catalina.out with Webmin
I found that logrotate is the easiest.

Hi Phillip,
Since Webmin uses logrotate could I just create a simple entry with Webmin?
Or do I need to specify other settings

Why do you re-create the file? Is it not enough to truncate it?

I was going to experiment with it next week. It would be nice to do it
within Tomcat and stay away from the Unix-y stuff. That way it would also
work for the windows users.
I have a feeling the Unix-y stuff will have to suffice for a bit.

Howdy,
Why not use the nightly rollover mechanism used for servlet logs,
localhost logs, etc. also for catalina.out?

Howdy,
OTOH - After the startup message - nothing really should be written to it
without making an effort to do so. So only badly written code which uses
System.out/err will be the victim. This is the incentive to use a real
logging package. Allowing rotation allows reward of bad code.

Hi,
Our catalina.out gets rather large. We would like to keep the data. Does
anybody have a good solution for rotating it w/o restarting the
application? Or can that even be done?
I was thinking of renaming the file and then touching catalina.out to
create a new file but I have some concerns
I forgot to add that I am running Solaris, not Linux, and logrotate is not
part of the OS.

In windows - your screwed.
In unix: (YMMV)
cp -f catalina.out catalina.out-old

In a nutshell - wacky every developer upside the head which uses System.out,
System.err. Then make them use a logging package such as log4j,
commons-logging, ... And catalina.out becomes

Howdy,
Can you submit your proposed modification to the script, and what it
would require (e.g. downloading rotatelogs and placing it somewhere)? I
think catalina.out rotation is a generically useful enough feature to
make its way into the tomcat distribution eventually
