Instead of direct application communication I would merely embed an
email function into each of the scripts that sent an email with the name
of each script in the subject line to a single mail address every time every
script was launched.
Then set up mail rules to sort the subject lines with the script names into
folders.
Or if you really need automated output into another app, you can use Albert,
...from StimpSoft I think, to launch a script from an e-mail.
Simultaneous sends are handled easily this way.
