Thanks Christopher, that's informative.
I've decided to just manually move (via ftp) the dated files off the server
and just clear Catalina.out (like your link says, the only unique output it
includes is system.out/err).
Eventually I will implement a more thorough logging solution.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for something simple.
Thanks.
