limit property not working properly in logging.properties file in tomcat

[vikas byn]

.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = catalina.
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.limit = 20000000
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.count = 5

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

I set these property in logging.properties file to rotate calaline.out file after 20 MB. but its not working .
How can i achieve this.

Try it on a smaller size and see if the limit really isn't working or not.

One problem with numbers like "20MB" or "20000000" is that it can actually mean several different values, as disk drive manufacturers have been known to exploit.

I search solution for this problem, most of forums suggest to make a cron entry for that.
but in my case, catalina.out fills logs pretty fast. so i want to rotate catalina.out against its size limit.

thanks your suggestion.

I tried several combination of limit but its not working file. my logs does not rotate.

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.limit = 20000000

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.limit = 20

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.limit = 2

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.limit = 200
