That is how unixes work. See "man unlink" e.g. here [1] or the POSIX spec. The actual deletion happens only when all applications that are reading or writing the file have closed it. [1] http://linux.die.net/man/2/unlink You can truncate the file though, without deleting it. I think the following will work: cat /dev/null > yourfile Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Re: Log File Problems in tomcat
Thanks for reply. I was also thinking in that way but after all i need same user to delete(for eg old log deletion or manual deletion) also.So want to avoid restarting tomcat just to create new logs. Looking for some solution at tomcat level so my tomcat always run even if current log files are deleted it should able to genrate new log file automatically.
