title: File Handler doesn't start working until i have a file created
body: <p>I have a loggers.config file that specifies a custom file handler to format log messages to a file. The handler wont work unless a create a default file with the specified file pattern. It then creates a new file with a 0 appended to it as specified by the pattern and starts logging to that. How can I get it to log to a file without specifying a default file first.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the logging file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>handlers=com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler
  
  # Default global logging level.
  # This specifies which kinds of events are logged across
  # all loggers.  For any given facility this global level
  # can be overriden by a facility specific level
  # Note that the ConsoleHandler also has a separate level
  # setting to limit messages printed to the console.
  .level= INFO
  
  com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler.level=INFO
  
  # Naming style for the output file: 
  com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler.pattern=daniel%g.log
  
  # Limiting size of output file in bytes -defaulted to 1MB: 
  com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler.limit=1MB
  
  # Number of output files to cycle through, by appending an 
  # integer to the base file name: 
  com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler.count=10
  
  # Style of output (Simple or XML): 
  com.daniel.logging.MyFileHandler.formatter=com.daniel.logging.MyLogFormatter
  
  # Limit the message that are printed on the console to INFO and above.
  java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
  java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the installer (this is an application logging properties file there was a file created there is a line specifying the logger.config file as logger.properties. A couple of lines later a file was created and the command CMD [@] >> default_file 2>&amp;1. I am not sure what that line does (I'm quite new to bash)</p>
