You can also store the difference between 2 readings. Otherwise your counters
will increase forever.

You can try to redirect the ULOG to a named pipe or a shell script.
Named pipe example :
mkfifo test
echo 1 > test &
echo 2 > test 1
echo 3 > test &
cat test
3
2
1
[1] Done echo 1 >test
[2]- Done echo 2 >test
[3]+ Done echo 3 >test
So the numbers 1, 2 and 3 were cached in the named pipe untill the cat command
was executed.
