catalina.out is the redirected output of tomcat -- not a product of
log4j or commons-logging. As such you're best bet is to have a cron job
stop tomcat, rename the file and then restart it at say 6:00am when the
internet hits the lowest ebb of demand. That method should be safe for
all OS's.
Unix/Linux seem to handle the sudden disappearance of a file well (or at
least better than Windows) and simply create a new one. Just renaming
the file without stop/start may be an option for you on *nix systems.

Hello,
What is the easiest way to do a log rotation with tomcat ?
For example, I'd like to rotate catalina.out on a daily basis and have up to 5
versions kept. How can I do it ?
