Delete Tomcat logs
Do you know some Windows script to delete Tomcat logs after 5 days?
Thanks a lot

well, it was the maxbackupindex that was what I was trying to find
out. We already are in the process of deleting the files which are
older than a certain time period...
thanks,
Vivek.

You could configure Tomcat to use log4j instead of juli and use a
DailyRollingFileAppender -- it will generate a new file every day and
you can simply delete the ones that are several days behind whenever you
want.
(Unfortunately, DailyRollingFileAppender doesn't inherit from
RollingFileAppender which includes a "max backup index" setting and will
automatically clean up after old log files).

Is there a way to delete tomcat logs which are "older" than 5 days?

You might want to truncate, 'not delete', instead.

AFAIK, this won't work on Windows unless you stop tomcat before and
restart tomcat after. Windows keeps the log file open and will do
strange things if you take the file out from underneath it. I believe
log4j has options to support what the OP wants through log rotation.

Windows has a scheduler. Put 'DEL c:\Tomcat\logs\*.*' in it every 5 days.
