Re: [log4perl-devel] rotation on new run of script

[DAY R. <Rog...@at...>]

This from the web-page:

"I initially aasumed a long runinng process but it seems people are
using this module as part of short running CGI programs. So, now we look
at the last modified time stamp of the log file and compare it to a
previous occurance of a DatePattern, on startup only. If the file stat
shows the mtime to be earlier than the previous recurrance then I rotate
the log file."

Which I take to mean it does do invocation-like rollovers. If this
doesn't work, I'll resort to a custom file appender.

I see what you mean about the valid date patterns. Implement in haste,
repent at leisure.

Also, apologies for the stupid .sig. I have no control over it.

Hmm, this is neither a valid date pattern (yyyy-MM-dd-HH would be
correct),  according to the Log::Dispatch::FileRotate man page, nor does
it claim to roll it on every invocation.

You probably need something like a custom file appender for this.
