Question

normally i start tomcat just with this command:

./catalina.sh run

And if i need to debug code i use:

./catalina.sh jpda start

This works fine so far. But if i use the second command the log is not displayed in the console. I would like to run tomcat in debug mode and see the log file in the console. Currently i always need to change between these 2 modes when needed.

This question seems quite easy, but i did not manage to find something appropriate on stackoverflow or google :-/

Thanks for your help! 🙂

You should be able to view the log by using something like:

tail -f /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out

(your system’s path may vary.)
