[log4perl-devel] Forks

[Wiggins d'A. <wi...@da...>]

Hello list,

First off Log4perl rules.

I am working on an application that will hopefully use the module's 
capabilities extensively, and have one early question.  Our app will 
become a daemon, then fork once to watch a series of directories, and 
then fork again to process files that fall into those directories, is 
there anything that we need to be concerned about using log4perl in this 
manner?  I read in the docs that it is moving towards or has already 
achieved thread safety, but we cannot go that route (threaded that is), 
and my concern lies with multiple forks writing to the same log at the 
same time, etc. and any issues with the multiple instances of the 
configuration, etc. in memory. (Solaris 8 for reference, perl 5.6.1 for 
the time being but planning on 5.8.0.)  Thanks for any help/suggestions,
