Tail?? - Shell Programming and Scripting

Tks Jim. Now what I do is putting the 13th argument of uptime command in a variable, the load, let's say 0.06 and now adding the last 24 hours load and doing an average of the total. Here is what I am trying to do:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
I_COUNT=96
C_CHAINE=0
until ((I_COUNT < 1))
do

tail -$I_COUNT /dailyload.log | head -1 | awk '{print $13}' > $C_CHAINE

#average
((C_CHAINE=C_CHAINE+$13))
((I_COUNT=I_COUNT-1))

done

((C_CHAINE=C_CHAINE/96))
echo $C_CHAINE

But can't make it work. Any idea?
