Basic question

How do I configure log4j so that it over-writes the log file
instead of appending to it?

The FileAppender has a property called "Append".

In a configuration script it looks like:

log4j.appender.X=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.X.File=xyz.log
log4j.appender.X.Append=false

Hope that helps,
