Hi JBoss'ses

Is there a way to delete the "server.log" while JBoss is running? Problem: it is locked.

Thanks, nikolaj

Is it possible to rename the file and let jboss start a new one (when the filesize has grown to much) ?

Have a look at log4j's RollingFileAppender.
There are plenty of other options.

There's an example in this link
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html

Latest CVS uses a log4j.xml that contains some
other examples of log4j config
