log4net - catching file access problems

I am running into a problem with log4net when the logfile being
written to is locked (by someone else).

Specifically, this can occasionally happen when my application is
starting up - at startup time, the file is locked, and log4net cannot
open it. It appears that log4net tries to access the file prior to
Main(). If it cannot open the file, I'm seeing an exception thrown,
but then processing continues - just without any logging.

The problem is that the exception is thrown before Main() starts, so I
don't seem to have any way of catching it.

The fact that the file is locked is not an issue - or at least, not
what I'm trying to solve here. What I am trying to do is detect this
situation programmaticall y - but I can't seem to find any way of doing
that?

And a follow-up question - if there is a way of detecting the problem,
is there any way of programmaticall y telling log4net to try again
(after some code executes that should cause the file to become
unlocked)?

Thanks,
Ethan

Hi all, I've decided to use log4net for my logging/tracing. In the example on the site it shows using main() to setup the root logger and then using the LogManager within your classes to create more loggers (subloggers). This is nice since I can use just one configuration file to control the behaviour of all the loggers within my app. This is great if I'm using a project that contains all my classes but what happens if my class is in...

Folks, I'd really like to use log4net for our error logging, but I'm having two problems: 1) For certain cases, I'd like to log error and messages to text files. I tried both the regular FileAppender, as well as the RollingFileAppender, but both don't work exactly the way I'd like them to.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
