[log4perl-devel] Looking for function to explicitly reload config file

[Joachim S. <js...@ac...>]

Hi,

Great piece of work, your Log::Log4perl module. Especially in mixed 
Java/Perl environments, it makes log management a breeze. :-)

But now I stumbled over something that I could not locate in the 
documentation or the FAQ. (Looking at the source of 
init_and_watch() didn't help either. :-() I'd like to use a 
function or method from Log::Log4perl to explicitly reload the 
log4perl config file. How do I do that? Do I call init() again?

If calling init() is the right solution, does this change the 
existing singleton object or does this allocate a new one? I.e., 
can I continue to use previously attained logger objects or do I 
need to call get_logger() anew?

This is for a daemon that receives commands to reconfigure itself 
on a TCP command channel. I don't want to use init_and_watch() for 
performance reasons, and reload-by-signal is a no-no as well. (All 
signals are handled by the daemon, a subsidiary module like 
Log::Log4perl must not install an own signal handler.)

Any tips or hints would be appreciated.

Best,
	Joachim
