Why is it "a lot of hassle"?

I assume that you're doing something like

  wget <stuff> -o <some-temporary-logfile-name>

to generate your logfile. Instead of that, just do

  wget <stuff> -o pipe:$.YourAppName

and then try to open that same file using OS_Find. Calling it "YourAppName"
(where that's the actual name that you've registered with ROOL for the
application) is a way to minimise the risk that someone else will also be
trying to use the same filename at the same time.
