Peter, In my configuration, when JBoss starts, the console output is redirected to a file (using start_jboss.sh > console.log 2>&1). I am trying to find a way to rollover the log file which is being created as a result of redirecting console output. I realize that the format of the data output to the console is being influenced by the following in log4j.xml | <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> | <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/> | <param name="Target" value="System.out"/> | <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/> | | <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> | <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n --> | <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/> | </layout> | </appender> | I tried using an element in log4j.xml similar to the one i have used for creating and rolling over the JBoss server.log. But it does not have any influence on console.log - which i think makes sense since the console.log file is not created by log4j but by my shelll script which is redirecting the console output. I am trying to find if there is a way to capture the console output to a file and also rollover that file every day.
