Re: [log4perl-devel] Log::Dispatch::FileRotate not working with "append" mode?

[<wzh...@gm...>]

I have a script running, which can be stopped and restarted frequently. I
was able to get the file rotation working until I added
"log4perl.appender.RunMonitorLogFile.mode = append" to set the mode to
append, so the previous script run's log file doesn't get wiped out after a
restart of the script. It's not rotating anymore. What I want is: continuous
logging, and log rotation at midnight.Thanks for your help!
