[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & Deployment] - Re: Rolling over JBoss console log

[ramdas]

Peter,

In my configuration, when JBoss starts, the console output is redirected to a file (using start_jboss.sh > console.log 2>&1). 

I am trying to find a way to rollover the log file which is being created as  a result of redirecting console output.
I realize that the format of the data output to the console is being influenced by the following in log4j.xml 

  | <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
  |       <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
  |       <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
  |       <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
  | 
  |       <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  |          <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
  |          <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
  |       </layout>
  |    </appender>
  | 
I tried using an element in log4j.xml similar to the one i have used for creating and rolling over the JBoss server.log. But it does not have any influence on console.log - which i think makes sense since the console.log file is not created by log4j but by my shelll script which is redirecting the console output.
I am trying to find if there is a way to capture the console output to a file and also rollover that file every day.

Thanks

Ramdas
