awk and execute command ???

If I have a flat file date.txt separate by a tab

date1 date2 count
20060226 20060225 2

20060227 20060226 2

20060228 20060227 5

20060314 20060228 2

20060315 20060314 1

If $3 (count) is 5 then execute the script testit.ksh with $1=20060228 , using script testit.ksh 20060228
and if $3 is 5 then $2=20060227 and move files *.20060227.* to /DAT2/


cat date.txt |
awk '{
if ($3 == 5) {
./testit.ksh $1 ????
mv *.$2.* /DAT2/


}
}'


This is a stupid code Smilie but I just want to learn what you do with awk and command .
Thanks for teaching me.

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
