1. You are true, i fixed my code with the if then instead of &&.
2. My turn now... ... WARNING about your code :
a) if [ `wc -l $file` ] : this doesn't check whether is exceed 1000 lines
b) by using mv log.tmp $file, you will loose the inode of $file !!!!
this mean that if the logfile is currently being processed you may encounter unexpected behaviour or errors.
That is the reason why it is advisable to use
instead of mv log.tmp $file

I hope that this helps.

Hi,
I'm using the command: sed -n '$=' $1 on a sh script on AIX.
This script is used to count the number of lines of files.
If the file has no lines at all the command doesn't return nothing.
I need the command to return 0 when the file has no lines at all.
How can I achieve this?

parse_dynamic_clustertoc
parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M) System Administration Commands parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)NAME
parse_dynamic_clustertoc - parse clustertoc file based on dynamic entries
SYNOPSIS
cdrom/export/exec/sparc.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc
cdrom/export/exec/i386.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc
DESCRIPTION
This script parses the clustertoc file before the suninstall(1M) process is run. parse_dynamic_clustertoc is called by a modified syscon-
fig script on the install CD. When parse_dynamic_clustertoc runs, it reads the clustertoc and when it encounters SUNW_CSRMBRIFF lines, it
either checks the platform using the script's builtin function, or calls an external script. The script exits with a 0 if the cluster
entry is included, otherwise it will be ignored. If the cluster entry is to be included, the SUNW_CSRMBRIFF =(test test_arg)cluster line
is converted to SUNW_CSRMEMBER =cluster.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking For an SX Framebuffer
The following is an example of a simple external test to check for an SX Framebuffer. The entry in the clustertoc file is shown and fol-
lowing that is the script that must be placed in the install.d/dynamic_test directory.
SUNW_CSRMBRIFF=(smcc.dctoc sx)SUNWCsx
#! /bin/sh
#
# Likewise, this file is expected to live under $(TESTDIR).
#
case "$1"
in
sx) prtconf -p | grep 'SUNW,sx' 1> /dev/null;;
