Then you should modify the startup script to handle renaming or deleting
the old file before starting tomcat. Catalina.out itself is just the
redirected standard output from tomcat and tomcat has no control over
what the OS does with what it spews out.
As a better alternative, configure your favorite logging framework to
provide rolling log files. There are lots of messages in the archives
regarding log4j and dealing with the classloader system in tomcat if you
want to go that direction.

Yes, Mr.David. I want each time tomcat's redirects its standard output to
catalina.out file,
this file should reflect that change and during tomcat start up all the
content in the file should be deleted, instead of appending it to previous
messages.
Right now I'm closing and reopening the file to notice the changes in it.
Instead I would like to see the file reloaded each time tomcat redirects its
standard output to
that file, just as it happens in windows.
Please suggest me a solution for this.
Thanks
Persistence.

I'm not clear on what you mean by 'reloading' as catalina.out is just a
text file accepting tomcat's redirected standard output. It should
simply be appended to as messages are generated. Are you saying you
want the file to be deleted and started fresh on every tomcat startup?

Hi,
whenever I restart the tomcat in linux, the file ' catalina.out ' is not
automatically reloading just like the file ' std.out ' does in windows.
' catalina.out ' file containing all the 'System.out ' statements
printed
from the day tomcat
was installed in my linux system.
Please tell me a solution so that the file ' catalina.out ' gets
reloaded for each and every time I made change in WEB UI.
