RE: How to specify log rotation in Tomcat 6

[Randhir Singh <ra...@sterlite.com>]

Thanks Chris for your answer.

1) For the 1st point whether Tomcat starts giving problems if catalina.out
becomes more than 2GB, I had a apprehension about it and hence my query.
2) For the 2nd point, I can try truncating tomcat on our UAT environment and
see if there are any problems as it would be risky to try it on our
production.

Regards

Are there any indications that there will be problems?

Did you try it either way?
