You need to execute Analog once for each report that you want to create, 
but you only need one copy of analog.exe and it's ancillary files.

Using the +g command line argument, you can point Analog at an 
additional .cfg file. Put all you common commands in the default 
analog.cfg, and any "per site" commands in, for example, site1.cfg, and 
run analog with

analog +gsite1.cfg

site1.cfg can contain the LOGFILE, HOSTNAME, HOSTURL, OUTFILE, CHARTDIR, 
etc., commands that you want for each different report.

have a look at the Helper applications page -

You may find some useful pointers there too.
