If multiple processes open the same file for append and issue 'write' system
calls to place lines in it, does Unix guarantee that each line will be
completely written as an integral unit? 

Does anyone have any better method to generate a common log file of activity in
a system? 

Responses by E-mail please; I will summarize to the net.
