Hi,

I do not know if log4cxx supports this out-of-the-box but for your
application to do it should be a simple task, I guess.

Upon exit OR start, the application checks if their exists a log file and
renames it(with current timestamp, say), if it is.

Hi,

I'm using log4cxx on a windows machine. Everything works fine up to now.

But I've got a problem:


Is there any possibility to create a new log file every time i start my
program?

So I don't want to base file rolling on the file size but on the start of
my
application.

For example I start my program for the first time and this creates the log
file "logfile.log".

Now when I close the application and restart it, the old file should be
renamed to "logfile_1.log" and the new one to "logfile.log".
With the RollingFileAppender I can only roll over the old files when a
file
gets bigger than the MaximumFileSize and with the DailyRollingFileAppender
it
creates, depending on the configuration, a new log file every
minute/hour/..

I hope anyone can help me.

Alex Baur
