Chris, Thank you so much for the suggestions.
It's a tomcat on windows so some options of logs or files rotation available on Li/Unix won't work. I tried to write script to rotate but failed b/c as you said, I can't move log files while tomcat is running. Neither Log4j. I also tried swallowOutput (mine is Tomcat7), but it doesn't work for me. If I have to deal with it on production. That's the problem. Please don't ask me why, just b/c that's the business I have. So maybe another question is how to do logging-pipe and rotate (as you said) for JSSE? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: users-return-234255-HONG.D.LE=saic....@tomcat.apache.org [mailto:users-return-234255-HONG.D.LE=saic....@tomcat.apache.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Schultz Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 11:02 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat Stdout Rotate -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hong, On 5/15/12 10:04 AM, Le, Hong D. wrote: > I have tried so many ways to rotate tomcat stdout log file daily or by > size but unable to achieve the goal.

You certainly don't want anything in debug mode in production - at least not for long. > I appreciate if you can help me how to do. Obviously, the best thing is not to dump a lot of stuff to stdout. Recent versions of Tomcat (you didn't say what you've got) have a "swallowOutput" option on specific webapps, but that is unlikely to affect JSSE debug logging. Since Tomcat's logs/catalina.out is done using shell redirection, the stream moves with the file, so you can't just re-name the file: you'd have to restart Tomcat after moving the file which isn't really a good option. You could try to use a logging-pipe that knows how to rotate files and hack catalina.sh to use that instead of "[...] > logs/catalina.out" that is in there currently. Good luck, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+yb9IACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBUEgCgrc9eirH0c+bRCzkkpkkgsyyb W9sAmwfRhP2C4OihZa27P3UkSnuCAhsy =g4yl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
