Which are you using? Log4j already has a RollingFileAppender (size or date based, your choice) which rolls logs automatically. Or, you can use logrotate on linux.

I discovered the tomcat-juli.jar in the bin directory so I suppose its in use. Although I never used it so far. So the idea is to switch x4juli.jar and I get the same functionality as in log4J? That's great because I'm using it to log my webapps. So despite this option the only real solution would be to do it with shell scripts in my linux environment? cheers, Pete > --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: "Boris Unckel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Betreff: Re: Catalina.out gets to big-> Server crashes > Datum: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 11:20:08 +0100 (MET) > > Good Morning, > > > Does anyone know how configure tomcat so that catalina.out only get > > a > size > > of 100 MB and then replaces it by a new empty catalina.out?
