What I do, when running long MONITOR jobs, is to run for a specific time(1 day)
 append output file to the total file and then restart for another day's
 interval. As the APPEND/COPY/RENAME can be going on in parallel with MONITOR,
 there is at most a few seconds' interruption in the statistics gathering.

Re MONITOR in general. I've seen some very strange figures coming back from
 MONITOR on our 780 : percentages often greater than 100 ! This occurs both
 with long-term stats gathering and running on-line. Some other figures
 appearing are physically impossible.
