Bourne Shell - Problem with while loop variable scope.
Hello
I am having issues with a script I'm working on developing on a Solaris machine.
The script is intended to find out how many times a particular user (by given userid) has logged into the local system for more than one hour today.
Here is my while loop:
I have declared numLogins before the loop, and the problem is after the loop I try and "echo $numLogins" but numLogins always contains 0. Even when my debug line prints out showing that the user has logged in for at least an hour.
I have determined that I believe this is because the while loop (when used in a pipeline) has a seperate variable scope, but I have tried rewriting my loop like:
I also thought it may be with the way I was incrementing my numLogins variable,
I have tried to use:
and a few other methods I can't quite remember.
Any help on this would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

If I set a variable within a while-read loop, sometimes it's local to the loop, sometimes it's global, depending on how the loop is set up. I'm testing this on a Debian Lenny system using both bash and dash with the same results.
For example:

rwho(1) General Commands Manual rwho(1)NAME
rwho - show who is logged in on local machines
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
produces output similar to the output of the HP-UX command for all machines on the local network that are running the daemon (see who(1)
and rwhod(1M)). If has not received a report from a machine for 11 minutes, assumes the machine is down and does not report users last
known to be logged into that machine.
output line has fields for the name of the user, the name of the machine, the user's terminal line, the time the user logged in, and the
amount of time the user has been idle. Idle time is shown as:
If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, reports this as idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an hour
or more, the user is omitted from output unless the flag is given.
An example output line from would look similar to:
This output line could be interpreted as is logged into and his terminal line is has been logged on since September 12 at 13:28 (1:28
p.m.). has not typed anything into for 11 minutes.
WARNINGS
output becomes unwieldy when the number of users for each machine on the local network running becomes large. One line of output occurs
for each user on each machine on the local network that is running
