Thanks for sharing this info. I was considering 1.3 version for better management - purging log files before certain date, log4j 1.3 provides max. backup index option with DailyRollingFileAppender. I am also looking at logrotate and cronolog for this, but not sure if I could use it in conjunction with DailyRollingFileAppender. Any thoughts?
