14.3.2 Managing Log File Size

On Windows, you need to manually monitor the size of the log files. On Linux, the logrotate
daemon manages the log files located in the following directories:
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/logs
/opt/volera/roma/logs/
The logrotate daemon has been configured to scan the files in these directories once a day. It rolls
them over when they have reached their maximum size and deletes the oldest version when the
maximum number of copies have been created.
If you want to modify this behavior, see the following files in the
novell-tomcat5
novell-devman
For information about the parameters in these files, see the documentation for the logrotate daemon.
