I use the following quite successfully if you don't mind making a  
system call --

<snippet>
		$cmdline="[$datetime] DEL_SVC_COMMENT;$comment\n";
		$action = localtime($datetime) ." - $ticket - host: $host - service:  
$service - state: $state - ticket: $status -  Deleted Comment\n";
		# append the command to the end of the command file
		system("$echocmd \"$cmdline\" >> $CommandFile");
		system("$echocmd \"$action\" >> $LogFile");
</snippet>
