I tried the script myself, which I didn't do till now

A typo, "typset" should be "typeset"

So:
Code:
typeset -i f1size f2size

and

"wc -c ${dirname}/${f1}" generates output of the form "<size> <filename>"

So instead:

Code:
....
f1size=`cat ${dirname}/${f1} | wc -c`
f2size=`cat ${dirname}/${f2} | wc -c`
....

I don't get the error message about "fI"

Now I get this:

./manusrv_watch.sh[34]: manumgrmdit2_7600.log: cannot open


even though I know the file exists.

You script doesn't mention that file

manumgrmdit2_7600.log

It does mention:

manumgrmdip2_7500.log

I realize that, but it cannot find the files, no matter what I call them. I have made sure that whatever the filename is that I am looking for actually exists in the correct directory.

I did some more testing and found that if the .log file has size = 0 and the .pid file has size < 6, the script runs just fine, meaning that no email gets sent. As soon as I make the .log file size > 0 or the .pid file size > 6, I get the "cannot open" error.

Did you run the program with the extra line:

set -x

???

+ f2=manumgrmdip2_7600.pid
+ hostname
+ export HOST=itdt02hp
+ typeset -i f1size f2size
+ [ ! -r /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.log -o ! -r /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.pid ]
+ + wc -c
+ cat /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.log
f1size=0
+ + wc -c
+ cat /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.pid
f2size=7
+ [ 0 -ne 0 -o 7 -gt 6 ]
+ mailx -s Error with file sizes on Manugistics itdt02hp Server (MDIT2) user@xyz.com
+ echo The size of /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.log size = 0, and /opt/manu/srv/manumgrmdip2_7600.pid = 7'
