TimeBasedRollingPolicy & application restart

[Dirk Ooms <di...@onesparrow.com>]

I asked this question a few weeks ago without success. I'll rephrase it.

I have an application that runs a couple of times per day. I configured it with a RollingFileAppender with daily rollover. The problem is that if the application is not running at midnight, the rollover does not happen. My impression is that log4j is not checking the date of the log file when it opens the file at application start-up (if it would check the date, it could decide to rollover if the date of the last change was yesterday).  Is my observation correct? If so, would it be a good thing to have this date check?

cheers,
dirk
