Hey Chris; thank you for your response. You do have good suggestions; I'm just not sure whether they are doable in our environment. I guess I'll have to do a bit more research.
Basically the logger.exe is watching for pre-configured patterns and shooting off SNMP traps, which then triggers a recovery action of sorts. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. And yeah, it's quite sad win32 is not Unix :( R. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 9:14 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: redirecting stdout & stderr to .exe on windows -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Richard, De Vries, Richard wrote: | For instance, I changed stdout from "auto" to "| | c:\progra~1\logger\logger.exe", but this yields a no-go :-(. Checking | the task manager I also don't see "logger.exe" running. Sadly, win32 is not UNIX, where this type of thing is usually supported. I suppose you could log an enhancement bug against Tomcat's Microsoft Windows service and request that "| logger-program" be supported by the service, but your only other option is to delve into the depths of logging configuration in Tomcat and have your logs handled by something smarter than the default "juli" logging system. What is it that logger.exe has to do for you that you can't do with an existing logging system? If all else fails, you can use log4j (which you'll need to configure) to log to a remote syslog and then you can use all the cool tools for working with syslog that you want. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkihmrQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PC9ZACfYE0hBoHmTAvJ2uPF68L/Es3H B5QAoJ8QFPQehvpDf00yUjtFDmZWTyR+ =10gX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
