How can I install cronolog in Tomcat for daily log rotate?

Answer 1

Why not use a proper logging framework instead of System.out? You have at least three at your disposal:

• java.util.logging and use the RollingFileHandler from http://www.x4juli.org/
• Log4j and use DailyRollingFileAppender
• Logback and use RollingFileAppender

Using any of these you will be able to control what you log (using levels - debug, info, warn, error), where you log (turn loggers on and off) and log into different targets - files, db, mail, jms etc.

Answer 2

David Rabinowitz makes a good point, but to answer your question, your use of cronolog is fine.
