Is notification.log really used "as configuration file"? If so, this might cause problems because the ">" redirector will truncate that file prior to appending to it, and so the file maybe empty when log4j attempts to read it to configure itself.
If, instead, notification.log is just referenced in the log4j config file as the target for a FileAppender, then this should be fine. Another option (that I use in my local "pre-dev" environment) is too have log4j append to stdout by using the ConsoleAppender, and using the redirect to send stdout to a file. That way, both System.out print statements and log4j logging will show up in the same file.
