Howdy, I will throw out one other thing, partially for myself so that when I look through this thread in the archives I remember this:
Over in log4j land, we've got a new, flexible, generic, powerful file rollover mechanism. It has the normal features (rollover based on file size, on date [including hourly, every X minutes, etc.]) and some cooler ones (compress when rolling over, rename when rolling over, etc.). Both the rolling trigger and action are easily extensible. These rollover framework will be used in log4j 1.3, the next major version. I wonder if it can be made slightly more generic and into a jarkarta-commons-sandbox project. That will require discussion and consent from the log4j developers to start with. But if it's a commons project, tomcat could use it instead of something from unix land.
