What is "LOGO:"? And are you sure the user the application runs under has sufficient access to create/rename files in whichever directory it is attempting to write to?

I finally got around to this again. I changed the rollover time to be in seconds so I should get a new log with each execution. When I run the app, I get a new log, but the rolled over file is not created. I cannot find a file with my matching DatePattern. Below is my Properties file. log4j.rootLogger=WARN, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=LOG0:MyLogFile.log log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-mm-ss log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %d{yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %m%n log4j.appender.R.ImmediateFlush=true log4j.logger.com.company.myfile=INFO Anyone have any suggestions?
