scripting newbie needs help
I have written a script that will email a generic user when a device is "offline". I would like to enhance this by having the script lookup a contact's email and automatically add it to the MAIL_LIST. I am trying to lookup and return data based on a field common in two files
File 1 /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt:
0150 PU SA Handheld 200-03
File 2 ; /optim/ais_scripts/files/bb_unit_contacts.txt
0150,contact name,contact@princeton.edu
#This script will email ais psig group any Active and Offline readers by loop and reader address, location number, location name.
#
#SCRIPT:mail_offlines

/optim/bin/read_shm > /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/readers.status
rm /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
echo " LOC# Reader Name LP#-AD" >> /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
echo "----------------------------------------" >> /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
for j in `/optim/bin/parse_shm | grep "ACTIVE Off-Line" | awk '{ print substr($0,1,6) }'`
do
cat /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/readers.status | grep "$j" | awk '{ print substr($0,15,4) substr($0,32,31) substr($0,1,6) }' >> /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
done
echo "------------------------------------------------------------------">> /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
mailx -s "Offline Readers" $MAIL_LIST < $MAIL_FILE
rm /optim/ais_scripts/files/offline/offline_readers.txt
echo "email has been sent"

metaoffline
metaoffline(1M) System Administration Commands metaoffline(1M)
NAME
metaoffline, metaonline - place submirrors offline and online
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/metaoffline -h
/usr/sbin/metaoffline [-s setname] [-f] mirror submirror
/usr/sbin/metaonline -h
/usr/sbin/metaonline [-s setname] mirror submirror
DESCRIPTION
The metaoffline command prevents Solaris Volume Manager from reading and writing to the submirror that has been taken offline. While the
submirror is offline, all writes to the mirror will be kept track of (by region) and will be written when the submirror is brought back
online. The metaoffline command can also be used to perform online backups: one submirror is taken offline and backed up while the mirror
remains accessible. (However, if this is a two-way mirror, data redundancy is lost while one submirror is offline.) The metaoffline command
differs from the metadetach command because it does not sever the logical association between the submirror and the mirror. To completely
remove a submirror from a mirror, use the metadetach command.
A submirror that has been taken offline will only remain offline until the metaonline command is invoked or the system is rebooted.
When the metaonline command is used, reading from and writing to the submirror resumes. A resync is automatically invoked to resync the
regions written while the submirror was offline. Writes are directed to the submirror during resync. Reads, however, will come from a dif-
ferent submirror. Once the resync operation completes, reads and writes are performed on that submirror. The metaonline command is only
effective on a submirror of a mirror that has been taken offline.
The metaoffline and metaonline commands can not be used on RAID 1 volumes in application-based recovery (ABR) mode.
A submirror that has been taken offline with the metaoffline command can only be mounted as read-only.
OPTIONS
Root privileges are required for all of the following options except -h.
-f Forces offlining of submirrors that have slices requiring maintenance.
-h Displays usage message.
-s setname Specifies the name of the diskset on which metaoffline and metaonline will work. Using the -s option will cause the com-
mand to perform its administrative function within the specified diskset. Without this option, the command will perform
its function on local metadevices.
mirror Specifies the metadevice name of the mirror from which the submirror will be either taken offline or put online.
submirror Specifies the metadevice name of the submirror to be either taken offline or put online.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Taking a Submirror Offline
This example takes one submirror, d9, offline from mirror d10.
# metaoffline d10 d9
