Hi,

We have set out appender  in log4j to:

[CODE]<!-- A time/date based rolling appender -->
   <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
     <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
     <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/server.log"/>
     <param name="Append" value="true"/>
    
     <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
     <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>    
    
     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
    
        <!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
        -->
      </layout>
    </appender>

[/CODE]

How can we force server.log to be rotated during the day incase the logs reach a large size or for any other reason? We are using JBoss AS4. I have tried setting the append value to false and going through jmx-xonsole to invoke reconfigure() but dont see any results. Is there another way of forcing log rotation?

Thanks
