Does Tomcat automatically gzip its logs on Linux Mandrake?
I noticed something odd in the Tomcat logs recently on our Linux server:
apparently, every week (on Saturday), a process is coming along and gzipping all
of the files in the logs directory of Tomcat. The system administrator says he
didn't initiate this process and is unaware of anything in Mandrake that would
do this automatically. That makes me wonder if Tomcat itself is doing this? We
haven't seen any other logs (or files of any other type on this
server) getting automatically gzipped.
We really don't want to do automatically zip everything in our Tomcat logs
directory; I'd rather set up a cron job to archive or delete old logs at a
schedule of my choosing. If Tomcat is gzipping the logs, I would like to turn it
off: can anyone tell me how?
It would surprise me if Tomcat is the culprit here since Tomcat 4.1.24 on
my Windows XP doesn't zip its logs but I thought I'd ask anyway. If anyone else
is using Tomcat 4.1.x on Mandrake, maybe you can suggest an alternate cause for
this behaviour. I don't want to throw stones, I just want to stop this
behaviour.
We are running Mandrake 9.1 and are using Tomcat 4.1.24.
