Situation

I use spring-boot-maven-plugin to create executable jar package of my Spring Boot application. Application is at server (Ubuntu) managed via init.d service:

/etc/init.d/{appname} start|stop

I use Log4j RollingFile appender to create hourly log files (application.%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.log.gz) located in my application directory.

Problem

There is a duplicated application log file located in /var/log/{appname}.log.

Question

How do not create duplicated log file in /var/log?

log4j.xml

<RollingFile name="appFileAppender" fileName="./logs/application.log" filePattern="application.%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.log.gz">
        <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} %X{correlationId} - %msg%n"/>
        <Policies>
            <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/>
        </Policies>
    </RollingFile>

File pom.xml is not connected to this issue in any way.

can you share your pom.xml – sanjeevRm Apr 23 '21 at 13:57
...and log4j configuration, obviously – crizzis Apr 23 '21 at 16:05
Added `log4j.xml` rolling file appender configuration but this issues would be rather connected how `init.d` service works. – jnemecz Apr 23 '21 at 16:09
share your entire log4j.xml configuration. You're probably also transitively including the default file appender that's defined in org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/file-appender.xml – lane.maxwell Apr 23 '21 at 20:24
