https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-80 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-95 Google search: jsvc log rotation Which appears to be fixed in 1.0.4. I don't know what version of jsvc is supplied with Redhat Linux 5.4. The current version from the Apache Commons web site is 1.0.10. The DAEMON-95 link has example shell scripts as well. I've not tried any of this. And as Chuck as mentioned, your developers should really not use stdout / stderr for logging. There are lots of quite nice and easy to use logging frameworks available. . . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
