awk -v in SunOS
Hi folks

I have a small problem wherein i have to obtain the data for the last 5 minutes from a logfile. I need to schedule this script in the crontab so that it runs every 5 minutes. A sample of the data is as shown

Quote:

03:15: Error:Exception while creating telnet instance for switch HLR3please verify userid,password and IP address

03:39: Link is down
03:42: Error:Exception while creating telnet instance for switch HLR3please verify userid,password and IP address
The first field is the hour, second the minute, third field is msg (where : is field separatpr)

i tried using awk which worked on HP-UX systems.
Quote:
hh='date +%H'
mi='date +%M'
pp=`expr $mi-5`
awk -F":" -v "h=$hh" -v "min=$mi" -v "period=$pp" '$1==h && $2 <= min && $2 >= period {print}' filename > outputfilename
Like i said this works on HP-UX but i need to run this on a SunOS system where i get the following syntax error

Quote:
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
Can anyone please help me out. Is there something that i am overlooking. If not awk, is there any other way to obtain the data that i want?

Thanks in advance

fence_mcdata(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   fence_mcdata(8)

NAME

       fence_mcdata - I/O Fencing agent for McData FC switches

SYNOPSIS

       fence_mcdata [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_mcdata  is  an  I/O  Fencing agent which can be used with McData FC switches.  It logs into a McData switch via telnet and disables a
       specified port.	Disabling the port which a machine is connected to effectively fences that machine.  Lengthy  telnet  connections  to  the
       switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

       fence_mcdata  accepts  options  on  the command line as well as from stdin.  fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
       fence_mcdata can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.

       After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the McData FC switch.  When the fenced machine is ready
       to  be  brought	back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the McData FC switch needs to be enabled. This can be done by running
       fence_mcdata and specifying the enable action.

       Vendor URL: http://www.brocade.com

OPTIONS

       -a IPaddress
	      IP address of the switch.

       -h     Print out a help message describing available options, then exit.

       -l login
	      Username name for the switch.

       -n port
	      The port number to disable on the switch.

       -o action
	      The action required.  disable (default) or enable.

       -p password

       -S path
	      Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.

       -q     Quiet mode: print only error messages.

       -V     Print out a version message, then exit.
