[Swift-devel] log naming

[Veronika Nefedova]

Hi,

I am curious at how hard it would be to change the way the logs and  
temp dirs are named in swift? Right now its a random number being  
attached to the name of the .swift file. I do not find it really  
helpful when analyzing the log. Would it be possible to attach a  
timestamp instead of a random number?

For example, right now I have a log file named this way:

MolDyn-xgv2nuncojno1.log.

And I would like to have the name to be this:

  MolDyn-2007-07-05 _11_49.log (or any other standard date/time  
format - I do not care about the actual format). All I care is to be  
able to find the log of the run done on a particular day/time.

Note, that this is not just the log naming. The remote working  
directories also have the same suffix -- changing it to a timestamp  
would help to locate the remote directories for debugging purposes.

It doesn't look like a big change to do so I am curious how hard it  
would be to implement it?

Thanks,

Nika
