You could do that with the "textfile" and "pipe" solution as well. The
order of lines in textfile doesn't matter, if you pipe them to "pipe".
If the pipe is already running, you may need to keep track of the time
that has passed since then and adjust your start time accordingly. The
only problem is that you need to initialize your "pipe" with arguments
specifying the contents of your event messages. And I don't know if the
number of messages you can store in a "pipe" is limited or big enough
for you.
