Please put code inside [code] tags.

And please post real code that can be selected and copied to a file; if you want to put in line numbers, please do it in comments at the end of the line.

Code:

 1  #!/bin/ksh
 2  ##
 3  ##### To find no of files in the directory
 4
 5
 6  NOF=`ls -l /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081025| wc -l`

There's no need to use external commands to get the number of files in a directory:
Code:
set -f
set --   /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081025/*
NOF=$#

Quote:

Code:

 7  if [ $NOF -ne 0 ]
 8  then
 9          NOF=`expr $NOF - 1`

You are using ksh; why are you using an external command for arithmetic?
Code:
NOF=$(( $NOF - 1 ))
(But you don't need it if you don't use ls | wc.)

Quote:

Code:

10  fi
11
12  OUTFILE="/root/temp/checking/outputfile"

Are you really running buggy code as root????

That's asking for trouble.

Quote:

Code:

13  #OUTFILE= /root/temp/checking/outputfile
14  FILE=`cat /root/temp/checking/address.txt | wc -l`
15
16  echo " /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081025 no of files is  ${NOF} " > $OUTFILE
17
18
19  if [ $NOF -ne 0 ]
20  then
21
22  for i in $FILE;

There is only one value in $FILE, so why are you using a loop?

Quote:

Code:

23  do
24   TO=`head -$i /root/temp/checking/address.txt | tail -1`
25
26   MFILE=/root/temp/checking/mailfile
27
28  echo "From: "Gnanaprakasam" <gnanaprakasam@yahoo.com>" > $MFILE
29  echo "To: ${TO}" >> $MFILE
30  echo "Date: `date`" >> $MFILE
31  echo "Subject: due to the script execution problem " >> $MFILE
32  echo "\n\n" >> $MFILE
33  echo "Dear Sir/Madam," >> $MFILE
34  echo "\n\t Due to the script execution problem the following file are created" >> $MFILE
35  echo "\n\n `ls -lt /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081025 |
       tr -s " " | cut -f6,7,8,9 -d " " `" >> $MFILE
36  echo "\n" >> $MFILE

Group your commands (here and elsewhere) and use a single redirection:

Code:

{
  echo "From: "Gnanaprakasam" <gnanaprakasam@yahoo.com>"
  echo "To: ${TO}"
  echo "Date: `date`"
  echo "Subject: due to the script execution problem "
  echo "\n\n"
  echo "Dear Sir/Madam,"
  echo "\n\t Due to the script execution problem the following file are created"
  echo "\n\n `ls -lt /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081025 | tr -s " " | cut -f6,7,8,9 -d " " `"
  echo "\n"
} > $MFILE

Quote:

Code:

37
38  ##/bin/cat $MFILE |  /usr/sbin/sendmail -fgnanaprakasam@yahoo.com $TO
39  sleep 2
40  done
41
42  fi
43
44
45
46
47
48  NOF1=`ls -l /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081215 | wc -l`
49  if [ $NOF1 -ne 0 ]
50  then
51          NOF1=`expr $NOF1 - 1`
52  fi
53
54  echo text >> $OUTFILE
55  DIRFILE=/root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081215
56  echo "/root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081215   no of files is  ${NOF1} " >> $OUTFILE
57  if [ $NOF1 -ne 0 ]
58  then
59  for j in $DIRFILE;

Why are you using a for loop for a single value?

Quote:

Code:

60  do
61  temp=`ls -lt /root/COMM/LOGS/eds/20081215 | tr -s " " | cut -f6,7,8,9 -d " " `"

Remove the double quotes from the end of the line; that's what's causing the error; it is unmatched.

Code:

62   echo "test j prakash" $j
63   echo "test temp  prakash" $temp
64   echo "test DIRFILE" $DIRFILE
65  done
66  for i in $FILE;
67  do
68   echo test start
69   echo "test i prakash"$i
70   echo test stop
71   TO=`head -$i /root/temp/checking/address.txt | tail -1`
