indicates that somebody has extended DailyRolloingFileAppender to include this feature, but I'm not sure if this has been included in an official release? ----- Original Message ---- From: James Stauffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Log4J Users List <log4j-user@logging.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, 1 March, 2007 11:04:10 AM Subject: Re: maxBackupIndex with DailyRollingFileAppender In 1.2 no, but I think that is supported in 1.3. In 1.2 you could set up a cron job to delete the extra files.
