You need to put "file:" in front of the path if it is a file on disk. In other words... -Dlog4j.configuration=file:<file_path> stackoverflow.com/questions/778933/…

This works as advertised; however I am trying to override a setting of a properties file in the jar, and the latter appears to get set after. Any advice?
