-----------------------------------

Hi Ceki,

I am very sad seeing this issue be closed :-( 

In most of our applications logging is also used for auditing because of legal 
purposes. Those applications logs at a very high level(sometimes 2-3GB/DAY 
!!!). The current logging solution they use allows this feature  where they can 
make chunks of their huge amount of logging data which can be processed with a 
script after business hours. Without this we can not recommend them to use 
Logback which might change our long term strategic decision on moving to this 
good product in the entire firm(There are 4 groups forcing me to get this 
feature in place).

The feature i am requesting would not have a big effect on the 
RollingFileAppender code, it is mostly related to this other issue with the 
TimeBasedRollingPolicy(http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-61). With the fix for 
the LBCORE-61 issue in place implementing this compound triggering policy would 
be trivial.

Googling a bit i have found the  CompositeRollingAppender from Log4j which 
seems to me to provide the same functionality with rollingstyle=3(correct me if 
i am wrong i do not have too much experience with Log4j). I wonder why this 
feature is not good enough to be in Logback.

Please consider reopening this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Zoltan
