Or, you can use placeholders in your config file.
log4j.appender.RollingFile.File = /var/log/${application}.log
and each application can then use a different value for the system property:
app1: System.setPropert("application", "app1") or java -Dapplication=app1
...
app2: System.setPropert("application", "app2")
