Yes, that's what would happen. But in practice the log config is rarely changed and I think that would be an acceptable outcome. > Would it be better to enable the "append" settings on the FileAppender? Perhaps. I wasn't aware of this option (and can't find any doco on it now either). Is the log just continually appended to, even when the config has been modified? This would be OK, except perhaps on application restart where you'd generally want a fresh log (we would anyway). > There are little issues like this that need to be looked at for the > watchdogs. In some cases, you might want the watchdog to do the initial > configuration. I'm not so sure about letting the WatchDog do the initial config. That really introduces a race condition into the log behaviour.
