[logback-user] deleting the log file stops logging

[Sumit Bhardwaj]

Hi,

We are using logback version 0.9.29, and if the log file is accidently
deleted then logback stops logging and it needs app server restart to
resume logging.

is there anything I am missing?? Or is this the expected behaviour?

I have pasted my configuration below.

Regards,
Sumit
