[logback-user] Problem with Logging in Linux

[Oliver Zemann]

The problem is that the software is running productive on customer
side, so there is no way to just deinstall the application and
reinstall it...

* What version of logback and slf4j are you using?
logback 1.0.6 (classic and core), slf4j-api 1.6.5

* Which flavor (and version) of Linux are you running?
CentOS 5.8 and 6.3

* Does the same problem occur when you try your logback config in a simple
 HelloWorld app (outside of install4j)?
Just tried it with creating a standalone jar from maven
(jar-with-dependencies) and its working as expected but its embedded
now. will check this in a few moments.

Regards,
Oli
