> Dynamic Log Naming

  When running eValid from the command line -- in a batch file --
  the user has essentially full control of eValid based on command
  line switches that are included when a script is run.

  A typical example of such a command line switch is Dynamic Log
  Naming. The Dynamic Log Naming feature makes sure that log files
  produced by eValid are all based on the root name of the playback
  script file name.

  The user has the option of naming the log files produced by the
  playback engine according to the current system time.  This allows
  the user to have multiple log files based on the time the script
  was run.

  If the script is used in a monitoring environment, the user should
  expect a number of files to be generated.

  To enable the Dynamic Log Naming feature of eValid, add the "-FF"
  switch in the eValid command line prior to running the script.

  Note that if the Dynamic Log Naming switch is used in LoadTest
  mode, eValid will name the logs generated based on the Command ID
  specified in the LoadTest (*.evl) script.
