Hi Will,
Without referring to any specific appender implementation, what is it that you
are trying to accomplish.
From what I understand, you would like process P1 to log instructions to a
file, say F, and some other process P2 to roll over file F to F1, and then
handle the instructions contained in F1. In the meanwhile, process P1 continues
to log into file F. (File F is empty after roll over).
Is the above correct?

I had considered that, but there is still one small problem. I'm using
said log file to log actions that need to be performed by another
process. At some interval, let's say nightly, this other process will
come and grab the already rolled-over files and go process them. My
understanding of the rollover file appender is that even if the rollover
interval has passed, it doesn't actually perform the rollover until the
next log message. So if my application goes a couple of days without
logging another of these events, the file will never be rolled over and
the "other process" will never see it. I guess I could periodically
write a blank message to the file to force it to rollover, but that
seems a little kludgy. *shrug*

Will, one way to get around the issue would be to set the roll over
policy to something small enough that it will rotate the active log in
a manner timely enough for you to move them around as needed. Not a
fix for the underlying problem, but might hold you over.

Are any of the logback FileAppenders able to recreate their logfile
if it goes away for whatever reason. In my testing, if I delete the
log file or move it to another location, logback doesn't log any
futher until I restart my application. I would like for it to
recreate the file if it is no longer present. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Will
