Short question: Is there a way in the RollingFileAppender to use the process ID (PID) in the file name?
Long question: We're using log4net (1.2.10) in several ASP.Net applications. We're also using the RollingFileAppender rolling daily, and using a static file name, so the current log-file is "log-file.log" and past log files would be "log-file.log.2007-08-10.log" for example. One of the things we've realized is that we need to specify the FileAppender+MinimalLock locking model in order for this to work. The reason is, as the ASP.Net worker processes cycle there can be two worker processes running at the same time, the one that's starting and the one that's ending. W/out that locking model the new process is unable to get a lock on the file, because the old process is still running so we miss logging. What we'd like to is use the PID in the file name of the log file, that way we know the log file names will be unique and we can get rid of the FileAppender+MinimalLock locking and increase our logging performance. So... is there a way in the RollingFileAppender to use the process ID (PID) in the file name?
