Hello, I followed the approach using a SocketAppender now.
I am starting a SocketServer via the following commandline: java org.apache.log4j.net.SocketServer port configFile configDir I have incorporated this commandline in the script that also starts my other 3 processes. 1) Do you know if there is some commandline interface that can be used to stop the socket server? 2) Or is there only the possibility to kill the socketserver process? -----Original Message----- From: Keith Hatton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Montag, 26.

If the three processes can be started by a single common java process, then you could use console appenders from those three processes and collect there entries in the starting process by intercepting their stdout and stderr streams; in turn writing to a file appender from that process.
