[logback-user] Some strange logback behaviour

[Nicholas Clare]

Hi everyone,

I've just switched to using logback for a project, that was using slf4j and
jdk logging, but it's gotten a bit big for that. So far logback has been
mostly great, except for a couple of small things. However, one major
problem has recently come up, and I was hoping someone could help me.

I'm using a few rolling file appenders, and everything works fine for a
couple of days. However, after that, the current day's log seems to only
keep the last line. Every time i 'more' the log, or something, it only has
the most recent message, and if i run something like tail -f, it shows one
line, and then never updates. The strangest part though, is that when it
does eventually roll over, the backed up file (which seems to be called
whatever-1970-01-01.log, but that's another issue :P ) seems to be complete.
But that doesn't really help when you're trying to debug an issue in a live,
running system.

Thanks for the great product again, I just hope we can sort this out, so I
can keep using it.
Nick
