We rotate the catalina.out file using the logrotate program on linux. The
rotation is based on file size - 10 Meg limit. We use copytruncate with
compression and maintain 14 rotated files before overwriting the oldest.
The following is a logrotate script that is placed in the /etc/logrotate.d
directory of the server running the tomcat app:
/home/tc1/tomcat/logs/catalina.out {
rotate 14
size 10M
copytruncate
compress
postrotate
# reset ownership to comply with directory's permissions
chown tc1.apps /home/tc1/tomcat/logs/catalina.out.*
endscript
notifempty
missingok
}
The man page on lograte is pretty thorough.
