logback and symbolic links

Question

How can you configure appenders symbolic links in logback?

I use logback's support for uniquely named files (described here) to get separate logs for each run. I would also like to have a symbolic link (e.g. log.current) to point to the latest logger file.

Does logback support symbolic link manipulation? Is there a better way to approach this problem?

Answer 1

No, it doesn't. You can ask Ceki to implement it, or subclass the given appender yourself and add what you need.
