I'm using a TimeBasedRollingPolicy for an app that may be run under different user names and I need the files to go to a "logs" directory in the running user's home directory "~/logs". Using "~/logs/" doesn't work in the <fileNamePattern>, but is there anything that will work? Thank you, Donald
Try environment variables [1]: *Linux:* ${HOME}/logs *Windows:* ${USERPROFILE}/logs (C:\Users\Tony\logs) ${APPDATA}/logs (C:\Users\Tony\AppData\Roaming) *Linux or Windows:* ${HOME:-${USERPROFILE}}/logs tries $HOME first; if it doesn't exist, it tries $USERPROFILE [1] http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#nestedSubst On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Donald McLean <dmclean62@gmail.com> wrote:

You might try using the predefined system properties, like: ${user.home} see http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#variableSubstitutionfor more information. (*Chris*) On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Tony Trinh <tony19@gmail.com> wrote:

tries $HOME first; if it doesn't exist, it tries $USERPROFILE
