Paul,
Re. Linux flavour: Could the log files be saved in the game folder rather than the folder from which the shortcut runs? I created a link to the .sh file on my desktop but it dumps all the logs there too.
Cheers

Make an .sh file that changes directories before running the game... then link to that on your desktop.
The issue is that I don't know what the game directory is nor can I tell in time to let the logger know where to write.
