Post the fifth line of your script.

Can you pull out the version of your ksh and let us know which operating system you are using Smilie

I've tried your script (with the [] mod and it works on my RHEL servers.

Hi, may you double check that you have modified this part of your code with chacko193's advice
Code:
if [ "$i"="puma" ]; then

the space " " between [ and "$i"
and the space " " between "puma" and ]
is so important that without it there will be a error "[slpd=puma]: not found"

so make sure the code is not
Code:
if ["$i"="puma"]; then

Thanks guys for your quick help Now script is working fine and as expected.
finally My script looks like as below and executed.
Code:
for i in slpd puma sfmdb
do
echo "******\t$i\t*******"
echo "--------------"
if [ "$i" = "puma" ]; then
ps -ef|grep -i $i|grep -v grep |head -1|awk -F ' '  '{print "Username: "$1 "\nPID: "$2 "\tProcessname:"  $9}';ps -ef|grep puma|grep -v grep|sed -n '2,$p' |awk -F ' '  '{print "Username: "$1 "\nPID: "$2 "\tProcessname:"  $8}'
else
ps -ef|grep -i $i|grep -v grep |awk 'BEGIN {print "Username\tPID\t\tProcessname";}
{print $1,"\t\t",$2,"\t\t",$9;}
END{print "Report Generated\n--------------";}' 
fi
done

So its a good learning for me to provide space in if [] statement
Also script is working fine with single quotes in sed command only otherwise with double quotes throwing error as
ksh[6]: p: parameter not set

Many Thanks
