Hi,

My jboss application server log file named jboss-log4j.xml has the following configuration for the rolling file appender

<appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="false"/>
 <param name="MaxFileSize" value="500KB"/>
 <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="1"/>

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
   <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
 </layout>      
</appender>

What does this exactly do ? How should I set it to do either of the two things ? 1. Delete logs older than 5 days or 2. Delete logs when they exceed 800MB, so that once they are deleted the new logs can take effect
