You're right, the combined log file is badly named in my example code. Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know of a way through Linux commands to split the output of the file on our server? We could probably get some regExes built, but that approach seems brittle. Part of the issue is that the header lines only appear when output is detected from a different file, so the number of lines after each header is variable.

An awk script would be one "obvious" way to proceed, to me at least. Perl or Python would also work fine. It could be done in bash if you prefer, but I think it would be uglier.
