[logback-user] Delete log file

[pwillems66 at zonnet.nl]

Hi,

The prudent propertie doesn't work. Any other idea?
It looks like the log file is in use. Is their a way to
'unlock' that use by code?

This is what I must realize:
For every test I need to create a log file. When the same test start 
again the previous file must be deleted (or renamed and delete 
thereafter) and a new one created. Also (test is not running) it must 
be possible to delete the log file.

FileAppender.setPrudent() looks promising for this purpose.  However, 
using the example from PrudentTimeBasedRolling.xml, when I rm the file 
it is not recreated on the next log statement.  Also, if it did work, 
it doesn't support your file appender, but maybe it is ok to change 
that.
