Return Awk Variable to Shell
I'm a bit stuck in getting variable from awk to shell. I tried searching but most of them showing to assign to shell variable via..

Code:
VAR=`echo $line | awk -F: '{print $1}'`

which is correct ofcourse

My problem is multiple assignments of variable like this one. The above solution will give me several lines of same coding.

Code:
 echo $line | awk -F: '{account=$1;schedule=$2;unixlist=$3;ntlist=$4;urllist=$5;pinglist=$6;ntpassfile=$7;}'

Here's the $LINE
Code:
CLIENT:0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21:/home/erm/user/CLIENT/PARM/unix_servers.txt:/home/erm/user/CLIENT/PARM/nt_servers.txt:/home/erm/user/CLIENT/PARM/CLIENT_url.txt:/home/erm/user/COACH/PARM/ping_serv_list.txt:/home/erm/user/COACH/PARM/pass.txt
