How to append output to daily file?

I am trying to log all measurements to a log file, preferably named like "/var/log/gm1356/20220613.txt"

Using the README file, I have managed to compile, run splread as a service on a Debian/Ubuntu system.

However, how do I send the output of this service splread to a local log file?
Can I use the created socket for this? Or should I change the service configuration to append all data to a log file?
I would really appreciate a simple step by step explanation how to do this, as my Linux skills are a bit limited.

Thank you,

I need to reboot my pi each time I run splread

First of all: thank you so much for this repo! I spent a very frustrating weekend trying to get this sound level meter working with my pi and was about to give up when I came across your repo and it enables me to read the data fine so thanks very much!

I do have one pretty annoying issue though - if I run splread and then quite it (using ctrl c in a console) the process stops but I am unable to start it again without rebooting my pi! I get the following when I try to restart it:

SPL-I-STARTUP, Starting the Chinese SPL Meter Reader (splread.c:409 in main)
SPL-I-POLL-INTERVAL, Setting poll interval to 1000 milliseconds (splread.c:365 in _parse_args)
SPL-I-DEVICE, Device found: 64bd:74e3 path: 0001:0003:00 serial: (null) (splread.c:147 in splread_find_device)
SPL-E-REQUEST-FAIL, Failed to write 8 bytes to device (wrote -1): hid_error is not implemented yet (splread.c:215 in splread_send_req)
SPL-F-CONFIG-FAIL, Failed to set configuration for SPL meter, aborting (splread.c:296 in splread_set_config)
SPL-F-BAD-CONFIG, Failed to load configuration, aborting. (splread.c:434 in main)

I am afraid that I know NOTHING about C++ and reading through the code makes very little sense to me! Can you give me any pointers on how to fix this issue?

Many thanks.
