Hi Michael, Here's a property file for the app that I want to remote via logs via chainsaw: # This logger catches everything else that is getting logged. log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, ChainSaw log4j.appender.ChainSaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender log4j.appender.ChainSaw.RemoteHost=localhost log4j.appender.ChainSaw.Port=4445 log4j.appender.ChainSaw.LocationInfo=true log4j.appender.ChainSaw.ReconnectionDelay=5000 [end property file] I don't think a layout is required (might even be the cause of the issue). When chainsaw starts up, it will start listening on a default port of 4445, and if the SocketAppender on the remote side doesn't immediately connect to Chainsaw it will give up forever without the ReconnectionDelay parameter setting. If this doesn't work, try starting Chainsaw using "java" rather than "javaw" to see any Chainsaw specific log outputs about connections etc. Hope this helps. cheers, Paul Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
