You could always try Vim on windows. http://www.vim.org/ You'll never use Notepad again (well, maybe ;))
JEdit has a plug-in (LogViewer) that is effectively a GUI tail. http://www.jedit.org
Or go the whole hog and install Cygwin for a bash shell with tail, vi and all manner of *nix utilities. http://www.cygwin.com
All Open Source, all free. Enjoy,

Under windows I've never had a tomcat log file that I couldn't view, but you may not be able to use your favorite editor. Notepad has always brought the file up for me where other editors(including wordpad) can not while tomcat is running.

Howdy, Regardless, a setup where you can't inspect log files until the end of the day is unacceptable for more people/organizations ;) Try to get that corrected...

We did on our last project. But it was the JVM crashing and taking
Tomcat
down with it. We just moved to a newer version just to make sure.
Try and upgrade the JVM, what version are you using ?

That's the problem. I can't be more specific. One moment I was
clicking
through the site and the next I get an Apache error saying
it could not
find
the file. Then when I looked at the server processes Tomcat
was down.
Unfortunately the log file is locked so I cannot see it until I bring
the
machine down again at about 6pm but I doubt it will say very much
either.
Do you use DBCP with Tomcat 4.0.x ?

Be more specific. Describe "crash".

Hello,
I am trying to put live a new version of my web site. The biggest
change
in
this version is that it uses DBCP connection pooling.
The problem I am having is that after a while of being live Tomcat
just
crashes with no warning.
What are the groups experiences with Tomcat crashing?
What kinds of
things
make it crash? I am at a loss having tried every thing I
can imagine to
make it work. I would be eternally grateful for any new leads.
My thanks, Andoni.
Tomcat 4.0.4 (crashes) Apache 1.3.26 (keeps going) DBCP Ajp13 Oracle 9i (keeps going)
