Susan,

Tomcat does not lock the file, since it is write only, clearing it has no
impact on the service.
I recall having a catalina.out that reached 4GB withon the hour due to a
read only filesystem.
Clearing it while it is running had no impact.

Googling also tends to be helpful...

HTH

Regards,

Serge Fonville
