Of course, if you need to restart your tomcat immediately and look at  
your old logs to debug a problem - or if someone else does a year  
from now.

It will drive you nuts wondering where they went. In this case you  
can do a log rotate something like this:

#!/bin/sh
DIR=/export/home/apachecat

file='/export/home/apachecat/tomcat/logs/catalina.out'
for num in 5 4 3 2 1 0; do
     pnum=`expr $num + 1`
     mv $file.$num $file.$pnum
done
mv $file $file.0
