Hello Alan,
This problem is fixed in the the o.a.l.rolling package introduced in log4j 1.3.
If you need to fix it for 1.2, then read

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.
