Yes definitely. I have written a patch a few years ago, so that the filename
would be random. This way, I used Blender in batchmode to render with my own
Yafray-reading renderer on a Sun Grid Engine. There it was possible to have 4
to 8 concurrent blender instances on a single node. So I needed to make sure
that the filename used was unique. :)
Cheers,
