Corey,

I couldn't find a way to do that either. I made some changes to the 
DailyRollingFileAppender class to meet my needs. See the attachment.

This class creates a new log file each day. The log file is in the user 
directory. Yesterday's log file is renamed, and then 6 total log files are 
retained. The maxBackupIndex field controls how many log files are retained.

Hope this is useful,

John

Subject: RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy

  Hi there,

Is there some param i can set in the log4j.xml to have the
TimeBasedRollingPolicy delete old files after x days?
Im sorry if this is handled in the doco and Im too stupid to find it :)

Cheers,
Corey
