Before you add statements to your log file , in the main script, you just need to check if "lckfile" exists.
If it exists , it means you are archiving or chomping your original log files and you need to append your log statements in the temp log file.
If it does not exists, you are safe to add your log statements in the orignal log files.
Hope this helps!

The scenario here is different,fetchmail daemon is writing to logfile and in every 2 sec.I can't control the fetchmail daemon process once it starts running.So this is not applicable in the scenario.
