When such a message is received, the underlying log file is rolled over and an acknowledgment message is sent back to the process initiating the roll over.

This method of triggering roll over has the advantage of being operating system independent, fast and reliable.

A simple application {@link Roller} is provided to initiate the roll over.

Note that the initiator is not authenticated. Anyone can trigger a rollover. In production environments, it is recommended that you add some form of protection to prevent undesired rollovers. @author Ceki Gülcü @since version 0.9.0 */ public class ExternallyRolledFileAppender extends RollingFileAppender { /** The string constant sent to initiate a roll over.
