Are you running on Windoze? This sounds like a problem having to do with the way the ms fs works.
-----Original Message----- From: Alan Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rollover failing... We've got log4j set up with a RollingFileAppender with a TimeBasedRollingPolicy. Within the development environment, we're fond of using 'tail -f' to view the logging in real time. However, rollover fails if the logs are being tailed when it occurs with a FileNotFoundException. I was wondering if there is any workaround for this problem. I understand that the inability to create the FileOutputStream is a function of Java's implementation of File handling, but I'm hoping there may be some semi-graceful way that log4j could handle this problem. Ideally, I'd like the system to be able to create another log file with a suffix appended so core.log would become core1.log. I looked at the source code for this and there's no way I can do it and still be able to upgrade to future versions of log4j when they're available. Does anyone else suffer from this problem? Any advice would be appreciated. alan ======= Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Symyx Technologies, Inc. that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted, privileged and/or protected work product, and is meant solely for the intended recipient.
