Hai Rudd,

Thanks for your reply.
It is an external option and common to lookup the log files in the console.
Is there any option built in with tomcat 5.0 to do like that?
Even tail.exe is coming with windows 2003 version only.
Please tell me if it is there.

Regards
Rajamani M

Hi Rajamani,

If you want to run as a service, but still see a console, one solution is
to use the "tail" command.

This is available on Linux systems, and there is also a port for Windows
systems.

Tail lets you 'watch' a log file, so you would open a console which runs
the tail command, pointing at the catalina log file you want to watch.

Each time the file is updated, the text appears in the window, exactly like
when you run from startup.bat.

Hope that helps,
Neale Rudd
