To delete or otherwise rotate (move, compress, e-mail, etc.) old files - I think I would write a <Listener>, or set up a shell script in cron. When logger starts to write a new file it has to do so quickly, because it happens in a synchronized block. Deleting is possible, because it is a quick operation as well. Though the tricky part is to find out what to delete. The files are named by date and they are not created unless necessary. The date format is configurable. E.g. it is possible to use it to generate different directories for different dates. IIRC JRE's java.util.logging.FileHandler can be configured to keep n old files, but it uses different naming scheme.
