What could be wrong ?

Hi,

As I said, I need to count the numbers of DHCP Discovers from the logfile.

Here it is the output :

DHCP01 Test # cat /var/log/messages.2.gz | zgrep 94.18 | grep "DHCPDIS" | grep 0012CFCDA11A | cut -c7- | cut -d ' ' -f5 | sort | uniq -c


3 010012CFCDA11A:

Here is one sample of a line in messages.2.gz :

Nov 3 17:01:04 dhcp01 ZEMdhcp: 010012CFCDA11A: Got DHCPDISCOVER xid=0x545e01bc from 0.0.0.0 via 94.18.124.1, req-ip=None, 82=(0012CFCDA11A ,576F6F1E1201, '94.18.124.6').



So, basically, it counts the number of DHCP discovers for this mac address.

Next, I want to create a script to put the output results in a file. If the command cannot find any discover for a mac address, the output should look like

0 010012CFCDA11A:



The script that I created looks like this :


cat /var/log/messages.2.gz | zgrep 94.18 | zgrep "DHCPDIS" | grep 10012CFCDA11A | cut -c7- | cut -d ' ' -f5 | sort | uniq -c >> /my_scripts/LOGS/dhcp_test

if [ " cat /var/log/messages.2.gz | zgrep 94.18 | grep "DHCPDIS" | grep 10012CFCDA11A | cut -c7- | cut -d ' ' -f5 | sort | uniq -c " -lt "1" ];
then
echo "0 10012CFCDA11A" >> /my_scripts/LOGS/dhcp_test
fi


Thanks,
