TimeBasedRollingPolicy doesn't roll if the date change happens when the application is not currently running ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LBCORE-64 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-64 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Rolling Affects Versions: unspecified Environment: Windows, JSE6 Reporter: Gamaliel Amaudruz Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor I discovered the same. I've been using log4j for years and it behaves differently than logback in this context, it will roll the log according to the configuration regardless of the execution context, which is imho a better behavior. I hope it would be possible to fix this issue or at least give an option between the two behaviors. Here is how I use it: - I have a monitoring task that is run every ten minutes and lasts for a dozen of seconds. I set logback to roll the logs everyday but it never happens because logback rolls ONLY if it is running while the date changes. I end up with a very huge log file that never rolls. Log4j will roll it during the first new execution after the date has changed.
