Custom Log File Directories

[Russ Haley <rh...@axys.com>]

Hello all,

 

I've been using l4n very successfully for the last 9 months (holy crap, has
it been that long?) with one small problem pertaining to the custom
directories that are created for the log files. I am using custom date
patterns to put log files under directories named after the year and month
that the log files were created. So if I was to create a log file today (feb
13, 2006) the file path would be as follows:

 

<root path>\SYSTEM\2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM

 

With the file being names 20060213.SYSTEM. This works for the most part, but
every now and then it has a bit of a hissy fit and creates a folder named
something like this:

 

20060213.SYSTEM2006

 

It seems that somehow it appends the year to the filename and then creates a
directory out of it and then creates the directory structure under the
folder noted above like so:

 

<root path>\2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM

 

>From what I can tell, this happens the first time I start the application
after a reboot or something and then corrects itself after the first run.
Unfortunately, it isn't a consistent problem and only occurs when my boss is
standing over me watching what's going on. : - {

 

Any suggestions other than locking my boss in his office (as I've already
been reprimanded for attempting it) would be terrific.  Config settings
below:

 

Cheers!
