If you use the FreeBSD port, it will automatically use commons-daemon. JSVC does support SIGUSR1 with reopening logs: https://github.com/apache/commons-daemon/blob/6a95175ba875977a59fa4be2e99d80d2fa8d053a/src/native/unix/native/jsvc-unix.c#L124-L127 Then, you can use newsyslogd to rotate with SIGUSR1. This works for me for ages now: /usr/local/ldadocgen/prod/tomcat-1/logs/catalina.out ldadocgen:ldadocgen 0640 30 * @T00 GBXP /var/run/tomcat_ldadocgen_prod_1.pid SIGUSR1 Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
