[slf4j-user] Log file doesn't roll over when set to archive each day.

[Erik van Oosten]

Hi Anonymous,

Slf4j does write to files, that is delegated to a logging backend such 
as log4j. Please find out which backend you use, read some documentation 
on that backend, or post a question on the forums of that backend.

Regards,
     Erik.
