TC 5.5: stdout_YYYYMMDD.log gets too big - howto limit/rotate?
Hi,
tomcat 5.5 on windoze creates a file stdout_YYYYMMDD.log (YYYY=Year, MM=Month, DD=Day) in $CATALINA_HOME/logs when it's started. But over weeks this file gets several hundrets of mebibytes big. How can I limit the size or init a rotation on that file?
There is no $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/log4j.jar
Here is the content of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/logging.properties:

Take a look at the swallowOutput configuration parameter for a context. You
should be able to fix things using that.

An application is using the Documentum Foundation Classes (DFC-API) and the DFC-API reports errors to the stdout.log

What is filling it? The Tomcat generated entries should be fairly small. Is
an app logging to stdout/stderr?
