Bill, Try the configureAndWatch() method defined for the Configurator classes, instead of configure(). This should achieve what you want. However, there was a bug in Log4J ver 0.9.1 that made usage of configureAndWatch() error-prone and I have not played with this method since. Anyone know if it has been fixed in 1.x.x and above ?

We are runnning under an app server and want to be able to turn off and on different levels of debug, without having to change the configuration file and cycle the server. Can't we just edit the config file and call PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jURL) multiple times? Anyone have any other ideas we should try to dynamically change logging levels?
