Without seeing the script or knowing what the script is written in, only
general advice can be given. There exist various mechanisms for appending
writes to a file as opposed to overwriting the file. In bash the
redirectors are > for overwrite and >> for append. Various languages have
other constructs for file handling. Check to see how the file is being
opened, and how it is being opened. Make sure it is being opened for
appending only if this were say a log file.
