Hi, As usual, the advice is also to minimize System.out logging. If you can't modify the app code using System.out logging, add swallowOutput="true" to your context declaration to make System.out go to the Loggers defined in Tomcat's server.xml. Those are automatically rotated for you.
(Note this all applies to Tomcat 5.0.x and older, not to 5.5 and newer) Yoav Shapira http://www.yoavshapira.com >-----Original Message----- >From: Filip Hanik - Dev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 3:19 PM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: Re: Rotating catalina.out with Webmin > >if you dont get webmin fixed, I recommend cronolog instead. >You cant just rotate it, cause then tomcat loses the file handle, and you >will lose all further output. > >with cronolog you simply pipe it through cronolog like this > > ><your java start command> | /usr/local/sbin/cronolog >"$CATALINA_BASE$"/logs/%Y-%m-%d.catalina.out >> /dev/null 2>&1 > >this will rotate the logs daily > >Filip > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Carlos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 2:05 PM >Subject: Rotating catalina.out with Webmin > > >Hi Forum, > > > >Could someone recommend settings for using the log rotation of Webmin in >order to rotate catalina.out (any cautionary measures)?
