In unix: (YMMV) cp -f catalina.out catalina.out-old cat /dev/null > catalina.out
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 "unused"

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 that tomcat won't write to the file once it sees it move.
Anybody have any thoughts?
