hi there, i encountered a problem. The situation is like this: I have two programs A & B in two difference directories, and they are reading their own configuration-files, named as log.config in their own directory. The problem is debug messages in program A will get logged into program B. (I'm sure that program A is reading its own log.config file and the following is set in the log.config file. log4j.appender.A1.File=/temp/prog1/logs/A.log and Program B read its own log.config and the following is set! log4j.appender.A1.File=/temp/prog2/logs/B.log Please advice.
