foo | grep | cut | sed | really | long | pipe | chain is never efficient, and you're doing this on almost every line. You've also got a lot of useless use of backticks, and useless use of cat. Whenever you have 'for file in `cat foo` you could've done
Code:
while read file
do
...
done < foo
much more efficiently. You can also do
Code:
while stuff ; do ... ; done 2>filename
to redirect stderr once for the whole loop instead of doing a special redirection for each and every individual command.
You can also set LC_ALL once instead of doing so for each and every individual command.
In your defense, you've been forced to deal with input data that looks like line noise! I don't entirely understand what you're doing. Why are you csplitting on 10000 and /^ST/ ? Are two non-word characters in a row, **, supposed to imply a blank record between them? Finally, what is your system, what is your shell? That will have a big effect on the tools available to you.
I've started writing a solution in awk.

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
