Is it possible to append to James Log files and not overwite when restarted?

[Ian Huynh <ia...@hubspan.com>]

Hi
 
Is it possible to setup James not to overwrite the log files when it's restarted?
I am running James as an NT Service
 
Thanks.

Remember the mantra: "What version of James?"

My current James logs (~100MB) date back to August 17.  James 2.1-CVS.

You should upgrade to Avalon Logkit 1.1.

The easiest way to do is to download latest james-2.1a1-2002-09-19 binaries
and unpack them somewhere (%JAMES_2.1%).

Run James 2.1 at least once in order to unpack itself. You'll need two files
%JAMES_2.1%\lib\logkit-1.1a.jar and
%JAMES_2.1%\apps\james\SAR-INF\environment.xml. If you don't want to run
James 2.1, you can unpack environment.xml by running "jar xvf apps\james.sar
SAR-INF/environment.xml" from %JAMES_2.1% directory.

Now in your working copy of James (%JAMES_2.03%) replace
%JAMES_2.03%\lib\logkit-1.0.jar with %JAMES_2.1%\lib\logkit-1.1a.jar and
%JAMES_2.03%\apps\james\conf\server.xml with
%JAMES_2.1%\apps\james\SAR-INF\environment.xml. Of course you should rename
environment.xml to server.xml and backup your old files.

As bonus you'll have logs timestamps in human readable format :)
