log rotation of catalina.out using catalina.sh on daily basis

Question

I just wanted to know that if I want to replace:

"$CATALINA_OUT" 2>&1 &

to rotate logs on daily bases what should I replace it with. I understand that for:

"$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &

we should replace it with this line

2>&1 |/usr/bin/cronolog "$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina-%Y-%m-%d.out" &

But in later versions of Tomcat the line look like:

"$CATALINA_OUT" 2>&1 &.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Don't ever do that, Tomcat is handling the logs itself. If you really want to change anything, read Tomcat doc.
