What you should see is that today's log is actively overwriting
yesterday's
rolled log.
So yesterdays log is history as it's been overwritten.
Can anybody explain this behaviour and whether a newer version
corrects this
problem?
Very common and expected behavior if you have two instances of
DailyRollingFileAppender writing to the same location on a Unix. One
instances renames the current file and creates a new file, when the
second instance attempts to roll, it cannot create the new file and
continues writing to the "old" file, but now renamed file. The moral
is not not allow two instances of DailyRollingFileAppender to contend
for the same file names.
