Hi Ceki,

it would be really nice if you could take this into consideration before the release of Logback 0.9.19 in early March.

Thanks, Joern.

>    Affects Versions: 0.917

> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-226)

> This is a followup to LBCLASSIC-143 which changed the message from ERROR to WARN.
> The WARN message still results in a dump of the logging status messages.
> This means that a whole bunch of text is printed to the console whenever Lilith is started - and it looks quite broken due to the stacktrace.
> So there are two possible solutions for this problem:
> a) the status is only printed in case of an ERROR
> b) SocketAppender considers this as an INFO instead of a WARN.
> I think b) would be reasonable. Other WARNs are much more important, like duplicate logback.xml.
> Lilith is only an example, btw.
> We routinely add SocketAppender[localhost] to our console applications. In case of trouble one can simply start Lilith and check the logs that way instead of reading them on the console.
> The default use-case is executing the app without Lilith, though, so we get the logback status messages on every start - which is quite noisy and annoying.
