I have installed a java batch process using the version of procrun that ships 
with tomcat 5.5.33:

   Commons Daemon Service Runner version 1.0.5.0/Win32 (Jan  5 2011) 
   Copyright (c) 2000-2011 The Apache Software Foundation.

In the installation, I specify (among other JVM options):
  --JvmOptions="-Duser.dir=C:\LOCAL\serverapps"

My log4j.properties configuration includes:
   log4j.appender.InfoLogFile.File=../logs/info.log

However, the info.log file is being written to:
   C:\WINDOWS\logs

I've checked the value of user.dir at many different points and it's always 
"C:\LOCAL\serverapps".

But, log4j is behaving as if user.dir="C:\Windows\System32" (or some other 
subir of C:\Windows).

>From what I can tell from the log4j source (1.2.16), the FileAppender deals 
>only with the java.io.FileOutputStream and File classes which claim to make 
>paths relative from the user.dir location.

I've worked around the issue, but I am curious:  has anyone else has 
encountered this type of behaviour?
