Nothing here is ksh-specific, so I changed it to use /bin/sh
I think you are expecting the redirections (>$out etc) to assign the output to a variable, but it doesn't do that. It sends the output to a file whose name is $out
Like Annihilannic tried to explain, the syntax for assigning the output from a command to a variable is var=`commands` or equivalently var=$(commands) ... but unless you need the variable for something else than just printing it immediately, using variables at all is unnecessary.
Somebody can please give a highlight on this. The problem shows only on Linux(Redhat) not any other unix flavors
:confused:
Linux :
$unset m
$m=`find . -newer rman_padev_20051206195000.out -name "*L0.rman" -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ s+=$5 } END{printf("%.0f", s)}'`
$echo $m
