Hi, 

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);
}

In the above code even if open ( SUM, ".." ) fails it keeps writting the content into SUM filehandle. Please check that too. That may lead to dodgy.
