Since logging is "meant" to "keep" logs, I suggest you do not overwrite logs, rather use something like RollingFileAppender to have N Number of files, and roll them over based on time, or Size.
Hope this helps. -Kamal. -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 10:37 AM To: Log4J Users List; Rajasekhar Dara Subject: Re: Fwd: log file should be overwritten The file appender will only append to a log file if it is specified in the config. Don't specify it in the config and it won't append. Of course, this means on application restart, not for each log statement. I can't imagine why one would want to overwrite for each log statement, but I just wanted to point that out to make sure the two situations weren't confused in the conversation.
