I know its late to reply , but below solution will help you out and other user who search the same question and stuck back to this thread.

I modified DailyRollingFileAppender.java to include time interval clause in file rolling , this will allow user to set minutes interval at which rolling has to be done

include file from here http://abheygupta.com/DailyRollingFileAppender.java

and configure this way ,tim interval can have any values from 60 factors [1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60] log4j.appender.mtlog_api11.DatePattern='.'mmHHMMddyyyy log4j.appender.mtlog_api11.TimeInterval=10

it will work normal in other DatePattern than specified above .
