[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - Why is my boot.log empty?

[HappySpaceInvader]

Not sure why, but although JBoss AS (4.2.2GA) creates the boot.log file on startup, the file is always completely empty.  Restarting JBoss, I can see that the timestamp of boot.log has been updated.  

I modified run.sh to capture $JAVA_OPTS as per http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossBootLogging but still, nothing appears in log/boot.log.

Here is the log4j file I extracted from run.jar:

### ====================================================================== ###

  | ##  JBoss Bootstrap Log4j Configuration                                     ##

Is there something I'm missing?
