catalina.out has binary data after rotate
Apologies if this is a tomcat question, but it seems like it might be something else...
I manually rotated my catalina.out file, and now the file jumps to 30+Mb and when I try to view it, less tells me it might be a binary file. It sure appears to have binary data in it, about 30meg of it. I did the rotate via a copy: copy catalina.out to another file cat /dev/null > catalina.out I have tried using echo: echo "" > catalina.out ...also with the same result. This application isn't something I can just bounce when necessary. It kind of appears that the original file is still there - sort of. But is it not readable text anymore. Ideas? Thanks in advance, -T SunOS 5.10 tomcat 5.5.26 (version required by app vendor) |
Do you have swallowOutput set ?

Thanks for the speedy reply!
No I don't have swallowOutput set, and, after a bit more investigation, I think I see that this is an issue with tomcat logging in general, but that there are solutions. I am dealing with a vendor-supplied tomcat installation, and have only a little control over the configuration. Perhaps I can fix this from within tomcat, perhaps not. :P |
