Is there a better way to do this? If you want all of the output from multiple log4j instances to go to one file I would suggest that all instances use a SocketAppender to send them and they you have on program that listens (ServerSocketListener?) and writes them to the file.

I haven't heard of that either (and I use XML config so I am not familiar with the properties format). -- James Stauffer Are you good?
