Santhoo, I believe the problem is caused by the restart at midnight. DailyRollingFileAppender will trigger the rollover when a log event has a different date than the previous log event, but because of the restart at midnight, the first log event can't compare with a previous log event and just continues writing in the log file of the previous day.
