what's the output of 'psit'?

it has the output like this :

Active servers at node ***.***.***.com are :
Name Marker Code Comms Port Launch PerClient? OS-pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NS * cdr tcp **** manual --- -8892649
24

NPSession19 * xdr tcp **** manual --- 16285
AVSessionFactoryServer* xdr tcp **** manual --- -8892597
73
SYCorbaDispatcher* xdr tcp **** manual --- 10347
ES * cdr tcp **** manual --- 8989

ok, this grep works. what seems to be the problem?
do you need to 'succeed' ONLY if BOTH fields are found? And 'fail' otherwise?

Hope you need this:

if [ `egrep -c -e "ES|NS" $file` -gt 0 ];then
echo sucess
else
echo exittt
fi

bash:
(egrep "ES|NS" filename) && { echo "ok"; } || { echo "sorry"; }

When I run the script, it is waiting and not giving me prompt back. Not sure what is wrong here.

psit >file

if [ `egrep -c -e "ES|NS" $file` -gt 0 ];then
echo sucess
else
echo exittt
fi
