I am guessing... Somewhere in the script there should be a ">> catalina.out" to append to catalina.out. Change that to "> catalina.out" so that the old file is automatically rewritten. Or else you may use rotatelogs program that comes with apache http server. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/rotatelogs.html
