The output of "... > ./temp" is nothing. So you are piping nothing into the second xargs.

You might have better luck with something like this:
Code:
for f in ./Client*log; do
    nawk ... $f > temp
    mv -f temp $f
done

GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)                                               Git Manual                                               GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)

NAME
git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files SYNOPSIS
git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... > DESCRIPTION
This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you are in the root of the repository. git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects. git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm OPTIONS
--all Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored. --alt-odb Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs. --verbose Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty. SEE ALSO
git-pack-objects(1) git-repack(1) git-prune-packed(1) GIT
Part of the git(1) suite Git 2.17.1 10/05/2018 GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)
