Thanks... does the trick. But still wondering why the file handles are left open... I would think its not good practice.

Johnny: I use Textpad to open the log file; if the log file is updated, it will automatically update the screen. Try that. -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Kewl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 2:34 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Log files always locked Just something that bugs me..... On windows if you try open a tomcat log file... which are typically associated with something like notepad, you get "In Use By Another Program". Why does Tomcat lock the file handle indefinitely? It maybe good programming practice but windows utilities generally dont give one the option of "will open as read only"... its always a mission just to read a log file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
