Hi Chris,
I will send the log4 details but I wanted to send this information first.
The above details for the files remained the same all this time until I
decided to login to the software and try to do some work. I had expected
the files to roll at midnight each night which I did not see. But, long
behold I run an ls -la command and the logs after I logged in and tried a
couple things on the software and it appears the logs roll over and a new
catalina log and localhost log started. Does some activity need to take
place for the logs to roll over? I thought it was supposed to be each night
at midnight. Also the dates of the files are a little misleading because
they rolled today and not on 11-25 when they started up.
Here is what I see now:
-rw-r--r--. root root 24372 Nov 30 06:33 catalina
-rw-r--r--. root root 30694 Nov 25 22:49 catalina.2015-11-25.log
-rw-r--r--. root root 0 Nov 25 22:49 catalina.out
-rw-r--r--. root root 0 Nov 25 22:49 host-manager
-rw-r--r--. root root 24372 Nov 30 06:33 localhost
-rw-r--r--. root root 31909 Nov 25 22:49 localhost.2015-11-25.log
