[logback-user] Problem with Syslog appender

[Pradnya Gawade]

Thanks. That might be useful.
I am in a process of programatically handling the stack trace to log it as a
single message. But not sure syslog protocol/server has problem with line
separator character which makes it display like this:

*com.abc.main.init.InitializeMainAppJob.execute(InitializeMainAppJob.java:405)#015#012#011at
org.quartz.core.JobRunShell.run(JobRunShell.java:202)#015#012#011at
org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:525)#015#012
com.abc.main.init.InitializeMainAppJ*

any ideas?

Thanks,
Pradnya
