Hi All:

I have a case where I:
- start my app with INFO level logging
- wait an hour
- update and save the log4j config file (which already had
monitorInterval="5") to use DEBUG and Console logging in addition to the
already configured rolling file.
- no config changes seem to take effect.

I know the app is running with one thread and that thread is very busy
reading MBs upon MBs of data from a socket input stream, which I can
confirm my peeking at the app from VisualVM.

Would using a Java 7 file watchdog make reconfiguration more reliable?

Gary
