What you could do is schedule your statedump at a fixed time, every
hour at 00m 00s, and have an external process move it 15 minutes later
to whatever filename you would like.

Alternatively (but that's creating a small security risk) you could
have the dump-files within DGD-space and do the renaming in LPC, since
you know exactly when the statedumps are being done, there.

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
