[logback-user] deleting the log file stops logging

3 Mar 2014

      Hi,

We are using logback version 0.9.29, and if the log file is accidently
deleted then logback stops logging and it needs app server restart to
resume logging.

is there anything I am missing?? Or is this the expected behaviour?

I have pasted my configuration below.

Regards,
Sumit

<configuration scan="true">

        <contextName>MY_APP</contextName>
