I don't believe it's a bug - I believe it's just the way Unix handles files. For instance, start a terminal and type: cat > foo.txt then type a few lines in. In another terminal, cat foo.txt to show that things have been written out. Then delete foo.txt (rm foo.txt) in this terminal, and write more lines on the other terminal... you'll see the same behaviour as with log4j. The way around it is not to delete the log files, of course... Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
