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?

For example, the <LogSetter> for the "servlet_log" in the default server.xml uses: path="logs/servlet-${yyyyMMdd}.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.
