Log4J - Can you format time in GMT using the .properties file?

[Jeff O.]

I'm trying to format date/time stamp in the log4J log in GMT. Is
there a way to do this using this .properties file? If not, how do I
get GMT output?

That depends. Show us your code -- a brief, compilable, working example.
Someone will then correct it.

Here's the log4j.properties file code I have. I'm trying to get the
log file to display the time in UTC. For example, instead of
2004-09-28 13:00:00.000 GMT-0500, I want to display 2004-09-28
17:00:00.00 GMT-0000. Any suggestions?
