Re: Rotating catalina.out.

[John Turner]

That would require installing/distributing Apache's rotatelogs program, or 
putting some sort of switch in there to determine if rotatelogs existed.

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...

Something I have always wanted to try was to modify

this line of the catalina.sh

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java $CATALINA_OPTS -classpath $CP \
-Djava.security.manager \
-Djava.security.policy==$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy \
-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE \
-Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
>> $CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out
to use the rotatelogs progran from apache, see for example
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/logs.html#piped
or simply catalina.sh do the rotation here using mv
of course you have to remeber to update the script when you install a
new
tomcat

In windows - your screwed.

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?
