I ended up using the code:

Code:
cat logfile | sort | uniq -c -n6 >> logreport

For the uniq command the -c flag will print the number of occurences before each line while the -n6 flag will ignore the first 6 fields for comparison. The end result is exactly what I needed. Thank you for your help everyone.
