What is behind the preference to roll your own rather than call existing
purpose-built command-line tools from LC with shell()?
Your chunking described in your latest post seems the way to go, AFAIK
pretty much how other tools would handle it.
Another option: if you're in an environment where even log files
require strong encryption, could you pipe log data to a separate secured
log server instead?
