Question sed newbie scripting assistance
Howdy folks,
I'm trying to craft a log file summarisation tool for an application that creates a lot of duplicate entries with only a different suffix to indicate point of execution. I thought I'd gotten close but I'm clearly missing something.

Here's a genericized version:
A text_file (infile_grocery.txt) with these contents.
Code:
milk skim fruit apple banana
milk skim fruit orange
milk skim fruit mango
milk skim fruit pomegranate
milk 2 percent fruit cherry tomato
milk 2 percent fruit peach
milk whole fruit pineapple
milk skim fruit strawberry raspberry
milk skim fruit strawberry rhubarb
milk whole fruit pineapple

What I'm hoping to get is:
Code:
milk skim fruit apple banana, orange, mango, pomegranate
milk 2 percent fruit cherry tomato, peach
milk whole fruit pineapple
milk skim fruit strawberry raspberry, strawberry rhubarb
milk whole fruit pineapple

The command line I've cooked up is:
Code:
sed -rn "{H;x;s|^(.+) fruit ([^\n]+)\n(.*)\1 fruit (.+)$|\1 fruit \2, \4|;x}; ${x;s/^\n//;p}" infile_grocery.txt

But the results I'm getting are:
Code:
milk skim fruit apple banana, mango, strawberry raspberry
milk skim fruit strawberry rhubarb
milk whole fruit pineapple

Clearly I'm skipping chunks of lines somehow but I've been staring at this too long and I can't see it. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

cmannotifyd

cmannotifyd(8)						     CMAN Notification Daemon						    cmannotifyd(8)

NAME

       cmannotifyd - CMAN Notification Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       cmannotifyd [-f] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       The cmannotifyd daemon talks to CMAN and provides a mechanism to notify external entities about cluster changes.

       CMAN dispatches 3 kind of notifications:

       - CMAN_REASON_TRY_SHUTDOWN when cman requests to all clients if it is allowed to shutdown.

       - CMAN_REASON_STATECHANGE when cman detects a node joining or leaving the cluster.

       - CMAN_REASON_CONFIG_UPDATE when a configuration change event has been detected/requested.

       These notifications are then dispatched to the shell script cman_notify in the environment variable CMAN_NOTIFICATION.

       cman_notify will then execute all the scripts in the configured notification directory (default: /etc/cluster/cman-notify.d) passing a very
       minimal set of envvars including, of course, the CMAN_NOTIFICATION= type.  The execution order is set by the filename as shown by "LC_ALL=C
       ls -las".

       cmannotifyd logs are stored in the default log file (/var/log/cluster/cmannotifyd.log).

       cman_notify  logs are stored in the default log file (/var/log/cluster/cman_notify.log). By default the output from the scripts executed by
       cman_notify is redirected to /dev/null.	Users can either set CMAN_NOTIFICATION_DEBUG=1 in their environment or set proper debug configura-
       tion in cluster.conf to redirect scripts output to the cman_notify log file.

NOTES

       cmannotifyd does not block on cman_notify nor check the exit status of the script.

       Notifications are dispatched in the same order as they arrive, one by one.

       CMAN_REASON_TRY_SHUTDOWN  is  passed  to  scripts  for information only, they can not influence cman's decsion about whether or not to shut
       down.

       CMAN_REASON_STATECHANGE also implies CMAN_NOTIFICATION_QUORUM exported in the environment. CMAN_NOTIFICATION_QUORUM will be set to 1  (when
       the node is part of a quorate cluster) or 0 (otherwise).

       A template for cman_notify scripts can be found in the doc/ directory.

OPTIONS

       -f     Run in the foreground (do not fork / daemonize).

       -d     Enable debug output.
