A way to handle this is to use "rotating logs". Although in this
case the program doesn't support the feature, one can simulate it
by adding lines like this...
cd /mersenne
mv run2.log run3.log
mv run.log run2.log
echo "mprime startup" $(date) > run.log
./mprime >> run.log
At each startup a new log file gets created with the current date
and time put in it.

Which sudo will take care of.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
