-------------------------------------

Looks like making rollOver public will not be sufficient.
I think it is required to add forceRollOver method which will include code similar to subAppend method:

    public void forceRollOver()
    {
        long n = System.currentTimeMillis();
        if (n >= nextCheck)
        {
            now.setTime(n);
            nextCheck = rc.getNextCheckMillis(now);
            try
            {
                rollOver();
            } catch (IOException ioe)
            {
                LogLog.error("rollOver() failed.", ioe);
            }
        }
    }

> Allow DailyRollingFile appender to rollover  programmatically without appending any new log event.
> This will allow log file rollover, in case there's no messages to be logged for a long time,
> but the current log file needs to be backed up.
> I think making the rollOver method public would be sufficient :)
