LOGINOUT creates new logs. LOGINOUT will not append to existing logs.

If you want that—and I don't recommend the approach—then you'll likely 
best aim the process output at a mailbox, and then write an app (or use 
COPY, if you're hacking this) that drains and logs the mailbox traffic.

Parsing command output from OpenVMS commands has long been considered 
unstable and unsupported and subject to change without notice, too.
