Pino,

since WSJT-X uses a logging file, rather than a transaction safe database server, the certain way of doing what you want to do is to keep the two direct logs from WSJT-X separate, and then subsequently to use those files as input to a separate logging program. Otherwise there is the risk of losing a logging entry if both instances attempt to open a joint file at around the same time, and only one is able to do so. [Since you are running 2 instances simultaneously, presumably there are 2 or more CPU threads active at once.]

It rather depends on what happens in WSJT-X if a log file can not be opened. Please forgive me for not reading the source!

HTH, 73,

I think as long as you're logging only one at a time you should be OK since the logging files are opened and closed pretty quickly.

It's the ALL.TXT file that could be a problem during decoding as that can all happen at the same time so I'd keep that separate.

You are referring to the ADIF file?
