Summary: Log4J locks rolled log files
Product: Log4j
Version: 1.2
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Appender
AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
Currently I am facing the following problem with Log4J (v1.2.8 but also in
v1.2.15). We use the DailyRollingFileAppender. Most of the log files are rolled
once a day, but a few once an hour. The rolling proces seems ok, new files are
created and the data in the files looks good.
The problem is that the applicationserver (WAS 6) holds a lock on the rolled
files. We can not delete those files from the filesystem.
With the unix command fuser we can see which process is holding which log file.
For example:
common.log: 1302780
common.log.2008-03-25-11:
common.log.2008-03-26-13:
common.log.2008-03-26-19:
common.log.2008-03-26-20:
common.log.2008-03-26-21: 1302780
The latest log file: common.log.2008-03-26-21 should not be locked! We have a
workaround by using the touch command on the log4j.xml. The log configuration
is (re)initialized and releases all the locks.
What can we do about this problem?
