Hi all,

I have now a problem/question:

I've installed Tomcat 5.5.27 on Linux. Though the "catalina.out" will be rotated everyday, i.g. "catalina.yyyy-mm-dd.log. But the "catalina.out"-self doesn't begin from the new day but still contains the old log messages. I've heard this is default setting. Is it true?

How can I improve this log-rotation so that everyday the "catalina.out" will be closed and renamed and a new one created which just holds the current day log messages?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
