dailyrollingfileappender cannot rollover when application is not running.

Hi,
	I have a question regarding log4j properties.I want my log file to
roll every day.
	I am trying to use DailyRollingFileAppender.

	
log4j.appender.FileAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
	log4j.appender.FileAppender.File=./logs/client-log.txt
	log4j.appender.FileAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
	log4j.appender.FileAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%c-%p,
%d{DATE}, %t-%C{3} -- %m%n
	log4j.appender.FileAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd

	Actually this appender with these parameters tries to roll at
midnight.So if the application using log4j is not running at midnight it
wont rollover.

	Can anyone help me?

	Is there any other way of making the log file roll every day..

	Thx
	Naveen Bajjuri

is it? For testing, Kindly change your system date and restart your
webcontainer,
I'm sure it would create a new one, It worked for me.

If your application doesn't run at midnight, then when
it startups the next day, log4j will check if there is
any file with previous date(for u'r case) and roll it
over. Any new messages will go to the new file.

I tested it with minutes extension and it worked as
mentioned above.

But if doesn't work, let us know.


Also, u'r log file location starts with a dot(
./logs/client-log.txt ). Does it work?  I guess, u
where trying to specify above directory level ie (..)
