title: Can you make the Tomcat 6 stdout.log file behave like a log4j DailyRollingFileAppender?
body: <p>We are using the Windows installation of Tomcat 6.  By default, the log4j output for our app goes to the ${catalina.base}/logs/stdout_.log file.  This log file only rolls over when we restart Tomcat, and the file name always includes the date.</p>
  
  <p>I would prefer it to behave like a DailyRollingFileAppender, where it renames the file when it rolls over... that way I can just open Notepad++ and see today's logs, since Notepad++ will remember that I opened that same file yesterday. :)</p>
  
  <p>I know I can just create another appender in log4j, but I would end up with the stdout.log and another log file, and I'm afraid there would be a minor performance hit for logging to both files.  I've tried adding swallowOutput=true to my context.xml but I still get all logging in stdout.log.  Any ideas?</p>
