[logback-user] Sending log files to user's home directory

[Tony Trinh]

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
