I didn't get too far. For the option b and setting the swallowOutput=true in right place I need to get some clarification.
I was looking up more information about the swallowOutput parm so I understood more. In Christopher's comments he spoke about updating the context xml. This is where I am confused. When I think of the word "context" it has always referring to the vendors web page to log in with and the context set is "cfcc". There is a file named cfcc.xml in the <Install_directory>/server/conf/Catalina/localhost directory. Then there is the actual context.xml file located in the <Install_directory>/server/conf directory. I am not sure which one I would put the swallowOutput parm in. Maybe it would be both. The only items in the context.xml file that are not commented out are the following settings and it's a pretty small file: <Context> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource> ... ... <Manager pathname="" /> ... ... <Valve classname="org.apache.catalina.valves.CometConnectionManagerValve" /> </Context> The cfcc.xml file that I have has the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <Context cachingAllowed="true" charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext" cookies="true" crossContext="false" debug="0" displayName="Secure Internet File Transfer Web Services" docBase="/opt/mftcc730/server/webapps/cfcc" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper" path="/cfcc" privileged="false" reloadable="false" swallowOutput="false" useHttpOnly="false" useNaming="true" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper"> <Valve className="com.proginet.sift.tomcat.valve.LoginValve"/> <Valve className="com.proginet.sift.tomcat.valve.CfccAuthenticator"/> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="0" directory="/opt/mftcc730/server/logs" prefix="localhost_cfcc_" suffix=".txt" timestamp="true" verbosity="2"/> <Realm className="com.proginet.sift.tomcat.ssldap.JDBCRealm" connectionName="cfcc" connectionPassword="TgPGKAy//0gDOq2Co5UnM2AE8pM=" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://192.168.1.7:3306/mft730?characterEncoding=UTF8" debug="0" digest="SHA" driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" roleNameCol="RoleID" userCredCol="Passwd" userNameCol="UserID" userRoleTable="UsersMap" userTable="Users" validate="true"/> <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/sift" scope="Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> </Context> Thank you. -Joleen On Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 10:16 AM, Joleen Barker <oldenuf2no...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for some direction. > > I'll go ahead and put back the logging as it was from the vendor using the > logging.properties file, etc. etc. so as to minimize their lack of support > due to me changing a lot in their product. > > Then I'll go on to try option b. > > I'll report back with how it goes. > > -Joleeb > Joleen, > > On 11/24/15 4:31 PM, Joleen Barker wrote: > > I have setup the logrotate using cron in the past and it was very > > successful on the Linux boxes but I could not find an equivalent setup > for > > AIX.
