Hi Antony,

Symbolic link file is just a file, so I don't see why logback could not 
read its config file from a symbolic link. To see internal status 
messages, I suggest you start your app by defining the 
"logback.statusListenerClass" system property as follows:

java \
-Dlogback.statusListenerClass=ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener 
...

HTH,
