assuming you have only single file


Code:
 file_name="$1" 
var="$2"

awk -F "=" -v VM="$var" -v FN="$file_name" '{if($1 ~ FN){s=1}
if(s && $1 == VM){print $2;s=""}}' file

Now my Question is If suppose the file is like
Code:
[test]
status=running
username=abc
password=123456
server =  linux

[live]
status=running
username=xyz
password=09876
server=unix

The script fails here when I write ./script test server

If there is space in between server = linux the scripts fails, But the script should give the result and the last case is If i have commented the portion
for example #server=linux
then the script should consider this one

Try this..

Code:
file_name="$1" 
var="$2"

awk -F "[= ]" -v VM="$var" -v FN="$file_name" '$0 ~ FN{s=1}
s && $1 ~ VM {s="";if(NF==2){print $NF}}' file
