[log4perl-devel] Re: log4perl: rolling file appender

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

Hey, Chris,

My javamap::rollingfileappender is just a wrapper around 
Log::Dispatch::FileRotate 
(http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Log-Dispatch-FileRotate/Log/Dispatch/FileRotate.html) 
by Mark Pfeiffer, you could ask him.

But from looking at the code it looks like the lockfiles should be 
deleted when the process exits.  If you have a long running process that 
doesn't exit, then the lockfiles won't go away.
