Hi Fellow monks, I have a weird problem where i've been trying to solve for weeks. I have this function running at the end of a script, and prior to that script moving the /tmp/foo files away and print it out using system lpr. I needed to append this information in.Besides the append, i also have a trigger mail sent out. So my problem is that although i can get the email everytime there's a genuine triggering but the append only works sometime. I'm scratching my head on where or what's wrong with it. Anyone got any good recommendation on where i should look at next? Thanks!!! 
sub appendToTsum
{
    my ($trigger) = @_;
    my $foo = "/tmp/foo";
    my $home = "\\\\t3file3\\datools\\tools\\MTP\\";
    my $logfile = $home."logappend.txt";
    open (LOG, ">>$logfile");

    my $time = time();
    $time = localtime($time);

    if(-e $foo){
        open (SUM, ">>$foo") or print log "$time: Can't write to $foo"
+;
        print SUM "\n\n***********************************************
+******\n";
        print SUM "** $trigger **\n";
        print SUM "***************************************************
+**\n";
        close (SUM);
    }
    
    close (LOG);
}
