Code:
n2=user1 pts/3 2010-06-29 01

This will not work, surround it with double brackets.

Code:
nn=${n2} | cut -d ' ' -f2

There is a missing echo in front of $ and either backticks in front of the commands and at the end or $().

Should look like:
Code:
$> n2="user1 pts/3 2010-06-29 01"
$> nn=`echo ${n2} | cut -d ' ' -f2`
$> echo $nn
pts/3
