I've fixed this locally in two ways:
a) use cronolog and alter init.d (see attached diff)
Pro: simple
Con: end up with two logs
b) using log4j
Pro: catalina.log file has predictable name for log analysis
Con: more complicated
for b) you need to delete the -outfile and -errfile line from the
init.d script, then create
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/classes/log4j.properties (attached)
finally creating two symlinks:
ln -s ../../../java/log4j-1.2.jar
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/log4j.jar
ln -s ../../../java/commons-logging.jar
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/commons$
I'm actually using method b) because it's essential that I have a
predictable filename for log monitoring.
