The %d pattern applies to the timestamp of the log message. You're
essentially wanting to print out what time log4net was configured. Its
my understanding that the header is written before any messages come
through the pipeline and the footer is written during the shutdown
process. I could be wrong.
As soon as I configure log4net, I record this log message:
log.Info("Application Started.");
In my application's shutdown code I record this log message:
log.Info("Application Ended.");
So I can easily see when my application has recycled.
