I found it quite convenient to watch a hidden file in the same folder that seems to keep track of the crash history. It appears to update each time that the crash log is updated, but I can't exactly be sure.
Using Quicksilver as an example, I am watching: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/.Quicksilver_rbt_CrashHistory.plist

I would appreciate any additional information on the subject. Thanks for the post.

Somebody give darick a prize! Much simpler than this new hint is to use the old hint with these hidden files.

I agree,
looks like Apple have hidden a plist file for each app with a crash log to tell some part of the system the date and path for each apps last log file with a dated name.
I see no reason these should not work with the old hint.
Good catch Darick.

If not necessary for the log files, My hint will have its uses where similar checking on 'name contains' is needed with LaunchAgents. :-)
