Me?
I would add on the date to the file name, that way I can sift it all
out later, and todays files do not get mashed with yesterdays files,
even after reboot, vac, long week end, and so on ...

I do this a lot with files that get made during a process.

mydate=$(date "+%d.%m.%Y")
foo=fun.$$.$mydate
echo $foo
fun.77358.05.10.2005

Nesting maybe,
foo=fun.$$.$(date "+%d.%m.%Y")
