Well... I'm swamped with work at the moment, so I wouldn't wait on me to
modify the LDM software if I were you.
I think that piping the outout to a shell script that creates a unique
output file is the best way to go. I'd have the script append its
process-id to the timestamp-filename. After that, the script could be as
simple as invoking cat(1) (which would make maintenance a snap). I think
I'd also use the "close" option in the associated PIPE entry in the
pqact(1) configuration-file..
Good luck.
