jsvc and logging

[Malcolm Warren <ma...@villeinitalia.com>]

Dear All,

I'd be grateful for some help with jsvc and logging.
I've spent a whole morning googling but without success so I'm turning 
to the Tomcat mailing list.

My logs are all going into the syslog, which is not the best solution.
I would like to see tomcat logs in the usual tomcat /logs folder


The tomcat daemon is started like this:

               $DAEMON -user "$TOMCAT6_USER" -cp "$JSVC_CLASSPATH" 
\                                                                                                                                          

                    -outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG 
\                                                                                                                                                          

                    -pidfile "$CATALINA_PID" $JAVA_OPTS 
"$BOOTSTRAP_CLASS"                                                                                                                                     



But if I try to change the -outfile and -errfile parameters tomcat 
doesn't start and I get a message saying:
"No class specified
Cannot parse command line arguments"

I've tried every possible combination of entries for these parameters, 
but to no avail.
Such as:

-outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err
-outfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out -errfile 
$CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.err
-outfile /var/lib/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out -errfile 
/var/lib/tomcat6/logs/catalina.err

Any help would be much appreciated.


Regards,
Malcolm Warren

Dear Hassan,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've found my mistake - a stupid one - I forgot the trailing back slash 
indicating a continuing line of the command.
And it now all seems to be working.

Thanks again,

Malcolm Warren

That should be fine; one of my installations starts like:

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc -user tomcat \
      -cp ./bin/bootstrap.jar \
      -outfile ./logs/catalina.out \
      -errfile ./logs/catalina.err \
      -pidfile /var/run/tomcat.pid \

Are you using a standard or third-party repackaged Tomcat? If the
latter, all bets are off  :-)
