Hi,
I'm using Tomcat 6.0.26 on Mac 10.6.3. Currently, in my $CATALINA_HOME/logs
directory, Tomcat produces a localhost*log file with the date in the file
name for each day, for example -- localhost.2010-04-19. Is there a way to
get Tomcat to generate simply "localhost.log" for whatever day today is? If
not, does anyone know a shell short cut where I can just type in something
like "vim ~/localhost.log" and see the most current log without having to
specify today's date?
You know about using the tab key in shell?
Not being bothered to fill in the right filename seems a bit lame.
I disagree.
The point raised by the OP above is one that bothers a lot of people.
The lame bit is the way in which standard out-of-the-box Tomcat
generates its logfiles, and their rotation, inflexibly.
And yes, I know one can implement log4j and do whatever one wants, but
for a large number of Tomcat occasional users and admins, that's too
much to ask.
I am not trying to start a flame, and I like Tomcat in general, and I
try to contribute to the limits of my limited abilities. I am just
pointing out one area in which, in my view, Tomcat is a bit deficient
for people who cannot spent much of their time on one particular
server-type software.
