Script not running correctly
Hi all,

My script below was working fine till I changed the LOGFILE path (which originally points to a file within the same folder of the script for testing)

Only the event.log file path is changed, the rest are still within the current folder.

Before the change, running the script works. After the change, from the "sed" commands onwards, it doesn't seem to trigger.

I separated the 'sed' part to another script, and ran that on its own, therefore, the commands work.

But somehow putting it together seems to give me a major headache.

Need help quickly.

Thanks.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
integer CURCOUNT
LOGFILE=/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

#Compare current count line with old count line in oldcount.txt
OLDCOUNT=`cat oldcount.txt | awk '{print $1}'`

CURCOUNT=`wc -l /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log | awk '{print $1}`

if [ "$CURCOUNT" = "$OLDCOUNT" ]; then
        echo "NO Change"
        exit
else

NEWLINES=`expr $CURCOUNT - $OLDCOUNT`

# Read and output new lines to diffline.txt
STARTLINE=`expr $OLDCOUNT + 1`
LASTLINE=$CURCOUNT

awk -v SL=$STARTLINE -v LL=$LASTLINE '
((NR >=SL) && (NR <=LL)) {print  $0}' /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log > diffline.txt

#Updates oldcount.txt with latest value
echo $CURCOUNT > oldcount.txt
exit
fi

sed -ne '/^---/p' -e '/Severity............: CRITICAL/,/^Description of Error/p' -e '/Severity............: MAJORWARNING/,/^Description of Er
ror/p' diffline.txt | sed -ne '/^Severity/p' -e '/^Summary/,/^Description of Error/p' | sed '/^Description/d' | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^[ \t]*/

sed -n '

test::script

Test::Script(3) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Script(3)

NAME

       Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts

DESCRIPTION

       The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
       bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.

       Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.

       That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
       considered unacceptable.

       In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
       that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.

       Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
       safety.

FUNCTIONS

   script_compiles
	   script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );

       The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
       This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.

   script_runs
	   script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );

       The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
       be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
