Kevin, What exactly do you mean by 'the application is running"? I'm using the DailyRollingFileAppender through my standalone java application. So do you mean to say that there is no way that this RollingFileAppender will work if my program is not running at the 'Rolling time instance'??

So if you stop the application before midnight and start it again the next day then it will continue to log to the same file. Is that the problem?
