Hi James,

Thanks for your replay. Yes , i want the log to be cleared on each server restarts.

To be more precise, I want the console log to be appended in the file (e.g : startjboss.log)  until my appliaction (war, ear) is deployed. 

I m have now the folowing configuration :

          <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="startjboss">

                <formatter>

                    <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>

                </formatter>

                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="startjboss.log"/>

                <suffix value=""/>

                <append value="false"/>

            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>

and i try to use this declarations

          <logger category="org.jboss">

                <level name="INFO"/>

                <handlers>

                    <handler name="startjboss"/>

                </handlers>

            </logger>

by adding all the packages that's appears on my eclipse console.

I have an other question : i tried to override the name of the boot.log file into startjboss.log. i have modified the "logging.properties" file by changine the following line :

handler.FILE.fileName=${org.jboss.boot.log.file:boot.log}

into : handler.FILE.fileName=${org.jboss.boot.log.file:startjboss.log}

I was trying to append the content of the boot log to startjboss.log but it's not working. Is there anything missing ?

Best regards.
