Can I get log4r to change te log filename each day so that it is more
easily housekept?

I do believe log4r has a rolling file appender that will perform date/size based rolling of your log files. This will not alter the basename of the log file, just increment a counter ...

basename.1.log
basename.2.log
etc.

Changing the basename is something you would have to do programatically from your own code. I do not think log4r supports that.

Blessings,

Hi Col,
of course you can. Pls use the outputter DateFileOutputter.
Have a look at the files in gems' example directory:
/install_dir/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/log4r-1.0.5/examples:
yaml.rb & log4r_yaml.yaml.

You can change the logfile name each year or month or day or hour or
minute ...

Cheers

Andreas
