You’re certainly free to do as you’d like here. My suggestion would be to just create a cron script that zips old files and deletes even older ones. Off the top of my head, you could use the find command to get files older than X days and perform some task on them, compress or delete. > > Does the JULI logger not work as documented?

As Konstantin mentioned, this was added a later release, 6.0.33 to be specific. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49180 Dan > > -- > -Vye > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
