RE: Tomcat 3.3 log rotation in Windows 2000

2002-09-05 Thread Larry Isaacs 

You can include a java.text.SimpleDateFormat string enclosed
within ${} in the path specification of LogSetter in
the server.xml.  For example, the LogSetter for the
servlet_log in the default server.xml uses:

path=logs/servlet-${MMdd}.log

This causes a new log to be started each day.  Note that
Tomcat 3.3.1 and earlier still write/rewrite a new file when
Tomcat is restarted.  The Tomcat 3.3.x nightly has been updated
to append.

Cheers,
Larry

 Anyone know a good way to rotate Tomcat logs (e.g., 
 stdout.log) in Windows
 without stopping Tomcat?  We capture lots of logging info and the file
 builds quickly, but we want to avoid the loss of user 
 sessions that comes
 with stopping Tomcat to clear/delete the log file.  While 
 Tomcat is running,
 Windows will not let it be delete because the file is in use.
 
  
 
 Thanks in advance.

RE: Tomcat 3.3 log rotation in Windows 2000

2002-09-05 Thread Jack Long 

Larry:

Thanks so much for the response -- this has been a vexing problem for us.

Our problem is with the stdout.log which we set on the command line when
starting Tomcat (eg, -out F:\TomcatLogs\stdout.log). Perhaps this is a JVM
issue that can't be address directly with Tomcat (??). The servlet and
jasper logs that are set in server.xml rotate just fine.

I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the syntax you suggested for the
server.xml file will not work on the command line.

Any ideas?

JL

RE: Tomcat 3.3 log rotation in Windows 2000

2002-09-05 Thread Larry Isaacs 

I don't think Tomcat outputs much to stdout directly.
Is there particular output you are looking capture
that isn't being written to the tc_log?

If not, you could assing the tc_log to a file?  In the
absence of a path on the LogSetter, I think the output
goes to stderr.

The syntax applies to logging done by Tomcat's internal
logger classes.  It wouldn't apply to stdout being
sent directly to a file.  

Cheers,
Larry
