Sorry I didn't notice when I posted my last message ...

Note that you are asking sort to the read data from $outputfile and to write the sorted results to the file named by $inputfile. This seems backwards???

PS I'm afraid that the &>> redirection suggested by Ikaro0 won't help and won't do what I think he thinks it will do. The command:
Code:
sort ... &>>  error_log

will run sort in the background and create an empty file named error_log (if error_log didn't already exist). Output from sort will not go into error_log from this command, even if the sort -o option is not been specified.

NAME
lucurr - display the name of the active boot environment SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lucurr [-l error_log] [-m mount_point] [-o outfile] [-X] DESCRIPTION
The lucurr command is part of a suite of commands that make up the Live Upgrade feature of the Solaris operating environment. See live_upgrade(5) for a description of the Live Upgrade feature. The lucurr command displays the name of the currently running boot environment (BE). If no BEs are configured on the system, lucurr dis- plays the message "No Boot Environments are defined". Note that lucurr reports only the name of the current BE, not the BE that will be active upon the next reboot. Use lustatus(1M) or luactivate(1M) for this information. The lucurr command requires root privileges. OPTIONS
The lucurr command has the following options: -l error_log Error and status messages are sent to error_log, in addition to where they are sent in your current environment. -m mount_point Returns the name of the BE that owns mount_point, where mount_point is the mount point of a BE's root file system. This can be a mount point of the current BE or the mount point of a BE other than the current BE. If the latter, the file system of the BE must have been mounted with lumount(1M) or mount(1M) before entering this option. -o outfile All command output is sent to outfile, in addition to where it is sent in your current environment. -X Enable XML output. Characteristics of XML are defined in DTD, in /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>, where <num> is the version number of the DTD file. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
/etc/lutab list of BEs on the system /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num> Live Upgrade DTD (see -X option) ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWluu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
