i guess the easiest solution is to subclass RollingFileAppender (or DailyRollingFileAppender) and override rollOver() to write something into the new file after calling super.rollOver()
be aware that if you want to do this with DailyRollingFileAppender you have to put your class into the package org.apache.log4j (package visability) for RollingFileAppender you can stay in your own packages (public visability) [IMHO it would make sense for both methods to have protected visability] cheers patrick > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Rakesh Ayilliath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Montag, 5.
