I can confirm that this is an issue on windows where the last modified timestamp does not get updated properly (while the outputstream is open). The size does change though, so checking for last modified + size should get you all the taily goodness.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Doug,</div><div><br><div style="font-size: medium;">The file appender does a flush after every line, so I'm not sure why this behaviour occurs. My theory is that the file is being written to just fine, but windows (you are on windows right?) doesn't notice the changes and does notify tail programs. Try a reloading he log file in a text editor and you'll see it updating fine. </div>
