[log4perl-devel] log4perl buffering with semi persistent scripts

[Danny D. <dan...@ya...>]

I'm using log4perl in FCGI scripts that are semi-persistent, they go up and down depending on load.

I have an appender that sends email and I'd like it to be buffered. However if I set it to buffered the emails are never sent, except sometimes when the process is killed.  If  I disable buffering it works fine but the messages are split up into too many individual emails.

I think perhaps what I need is to enable buffering at the start of each request, and disable it at the end of the request, is there some way to do this or does someone have another solution?

I took a look at some of the information for mod_perl but it doesn't quite seem to pertain, and in my case the FCGIs are only persistent for a number of requests then eventually exit.

cheers for any advice
Danny
