1) Currently you are creating directories like
specifiedlogdir_timestamp for each run, so it generates log
directories like:
logdir_2026-01-20-18-15-55.267510
logdir_2026-01-20-18-16-49.468882

Instead can you change it to specifiedlogdir/exec_timestamp1.
specifiedlogdir/exec_timestamp2, etc

+ populate_timestamp(timestamp,
sizeof(timestamp));
+ log_dir = psprintf("%s_%s", optarg, timestamp);
+ opt.log_dir = pg_strdup(log_dir);
+ canonicalize_path(opt.log_dir);
+
+ if (stat(opt.log_dir, &statbuf) != 0)
+ {
+ if (errno == ENOENT)
+ {
+ mkdir(opt.log_dir, S_IRWXU);

2) Your patch is based on a slightly older code, it does not apply on
HEAD, Kindly rebase your patch on top of HEAD,
