Log4j has the: log4j.appender.example.MaxFileSize=500KB log4j.appender.example.MaxBackupIndex=10 (xml file should be ~ the same) I know this was in plan to implement of not already. This is the proper way to keep the logs small. Do not delete them manually if you do not want to restart the app. > > The only option you seem to have is to do as I said before: Override > the used file watcher and reset the repo on your own. This way each > reload of the configuration file starts newly from scratch. You also have DailyRollingFileAppender to start a new file each day (read the manual). To start a new file each restart you have: <param name="append" value="false" /> If these don't work, there is a bug. Regards, Alex
