Re: Log Rotation (4.1.24)

Nope - you need an external script.

Here is a quick possible one in perl that might do the trick (just wrote, 
never tested - may be totally wrong due to type)
===
#!perl
use strict;

my @files;
my $oldest;
readdir(DIR, "$TOMCAT_HOME/logs");
@files = grep(/^localhost_access_log/, readdir(DIR));
closedir(DIR);
while ($#file>10) {
    # Get the oldest file
    $oldest = &getOldest(@files);
    unlink "$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/$files[$oldest]";
    splice(@files, $oldest, 1);
}
exit(0);
sub getOldest {
    my @f = @_;
    my $oldest = 0;
    my $oldestDate = -s "$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/$f[0]";
    for($i=1; $i;$#f; $i++) {
        if ($oldestDate > -s "$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/$f[0]") {
                $oldest = $i;
                $oldestDate = -s "$TOMCAT_HOME/logs/$f[0]";
        }
    }
    return $oldest;
}

I would like to limit the number of log files retained by "Apache Tomcat/4.1.24".  For 
example:
server.xml
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." 
suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
results (windowsXP)
localhost_access_log.2003-07-08.txt
localhost_access_log.2003-07-09.txt
etc.
desired results
To limit the number of daily copies to say ... ten.  Configurable log rotation is a 
capability within a WebLogic console and am wondering if Tomcat has the functionality 
(without invoking an external script).
Any ideas?
