As side note: Lots of cats and using grep together with awk while awk could do it both.
Also I do wonder why don't get an error at line 1 already where you end it with a pipe | and continue in next line, missing a \ to continue in line 2.


To your problem:
Code:
ERROR="$(nslookup $ip | grep can't | awk -F" " '{print $5}' > /dev/null 2>/dev/null;echo $?)"

As the messages says, you didn't escape/quote correct. "can't" is a string, but the single ' is a special character. Put a backslash in front of it to escape it.

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" } SEE ALSO
