As you have mentioned in your initial message you can turn off logging for a
*specific* category for all priorities lower than FATAL. You can turn off logging
entirely for a whole hierarchy by calling the hiearchy.disableAll method.
You seem to want to turn off logging for a given category for FATAL messages as well.
Why would you want to turn off logging for fatal messages?
In any case, an OFF priority will be available in log4j version 1.2. It is already in
our CVS rep. Regards, Ceki
