David Smiley commented on SOLR-9570:
------------------------------------
I like the idea of keeping with Log4j's options rather than manual/hand-rolled
file juggling. Can we tell Log4j, at some very early of point of startup (like
before we've logged anything) to rotate the log? That'd be nice. I wonder if
Log4j2 or Logback support such a configuration option -- it seems like
something very desirable. If we don't find such an option, I'm fine with Jan's
recommendation of just accepting that the logs since boot aren't necessarily at
the top.

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: scripts and tools
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
>
> When (re)starting Solr, the start script will backup any existing
> {{solr.log}} or {{solr_gc.log}} to a file {{solr_log_<date>}} and
> {{solr_gc_log_<date>}} respectively. That may be all good, but these old
> copies are never cleaned up, as they are not under the control of log4j.
