No problem. Jira can be a little confusing initially, but I for one, am starting to like it,

> I discovered the same. I've been using log4j for years and it behaves  
> differently than logback in this context, it will roll the log  
> according to the configuration regardless of the execution context,  
> which is imho a better behavior. I hope it would be possible to fix  
> this issue or at least give an option between the two behaviors.
> Here is how I use it:
> - I have a monitoring task that is run every ten minutes and lasts  
> for a dozen of seconds. I set logback to roll the logs everyday but  
> it never happens because logback rolls ONLY if it is running while  
> the date changes. I end up with a very huge log file that never rolls.
> Log4j will roll it during the first new execution after the date has  
> changed.
