Passing awk variable argument to a script which is being called inside awk
consider the script below

Code:
sh /opt/hqe/hqapi1-client-5.0.0/bin/hqapi.sh  alert list --host=localhost --port=7443 --user=hqadmin --password=hqadmin --secure=true >/tmp/alerts.xml
 
awk -F'[=|"|<|>|,]' '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){
 if($i=="Alert id") {
  if(id!="")
        if(dt!=""){
cmd="sh someScript.sh "printf "%s",alDFid;"
cmd | getline prio
print "priority=" prio
close(cmd)
 printf "ID=%d\nNAME=%s\nFIXED=%s\nDATE=%s\nAlDefID=%d\n\n", id,nm,fx,dt,alDFid; }
  id=($i=="Alert id")?$(i+2):id; }
  nm=($i==" name")?$(i+2):nm;
  fx=($i==" fixed")?$(i+2):fx;
  dt=($i~/^ [0-9]+-/)?$i" "$(i+1):dt;
  alDFid=($i==" alertDefinitionId")?$(i+2):alDFid;
 }
}END{
 if(dt!=""){
 printf "ID=%d\nNAME=%s\nFIXED=%s\nDATE=%s\nAlDefID=%d\n\n", id,nm,fx,dt,alDFid;
}
}' /tmp/alerts.xml


here the script that i am calling is someScript.sh and to that i want to pass the contents of alDFid , i itred giving it in quotes , $ but none of it worked. even tried printf "%s",alDFid even this is not working.


Does anyone know how to pass argument to script from Awk with awk variable??



ALSO
why does
Code:
awk -F'priority=' '{print $2}' | cut -d'"' -f2

inside cmd="" wont work.. it wont consider awk inside this command. it keeps throwing error as

Code:
| grep priority | awk -Fpriority= {print
awk: cmd. line:6:     ^ unterminated string
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 26: cmd: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 26: getline: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 27: print: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `cmd'
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 28: `close(cmd)'

reconfig

asadmin-reconfig(1AS)						   User Commands					     asadmin-reconfig(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-reconfig, reconfig - applies the changes you have made for a server instance

SYNOPSIS

       reconfig --user admin_user [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename] [--discard-
       manualchanges=false] [--keepmanualchanges=false] instance_name

       This command is deprecated. It allows you to apply changes you have made for a server instance. Use the reconfig command after you've  used
       the  set  command  to  change server properties. Any changes you make to the configuration files of the server do not take affect until you
       apply the changes by running the reconfig command. When --discardmanualchanges is set to true, manual changes made to the  server.xml  file
       are discarded. When --keepmanualchanges is set to true, manual changes made to the server.xml file take affect. However if both options are
       false (both options are not specified), an error message is displayed if manual changes and/or changes have been applied using the Adminis-
       trator  Interface.   Use  this  command	with  discretion  since  there	is no undo, and the changes applied are made directly to your con-
       fig/backup/server.xmlfile.

OPTIONS

       --user		       administrative user associated for the instance.

       --password	       administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.

       --host		       host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.

       --port		       administrative port number associated with the administrative host.

       --passwordfile	       file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.

       --discardmanualchanges  defaults to false. When set to true, discards the changes made manually to the server.xml file.

       --keepmanualchanges     defaults to false. When set to true, allows the manual changes made to the server.xml file to take affect.

OPERANDS

       instance_name	       name of the instance..

       Example 1: Using reconfig

       asadmin> reconfig --user admin
       --passwordfile passwords.txt --host localhost --port 4848 server1
       Successfully reconfigured

       Example 2: Using reconfig with the --discardmanualchanges option

       asadmin> reconfig --user admin --passwordfile passwords.txt --host localhost --port 4848 --discardmanualchanges server1
       Instance restart is required
       Successfully reconfigured

       Example 3: Using reconfig with the --keepmanualchanges option

       asadmin> reconfig --user admin --passwordfile passwords.txt --host localhost --port 4848 --keepmanualchanges server1
       Instance restart is required
       Successfully reconfigured

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command

       asadmin-get(1AS), asadmin-set(1AS), asadmin-list(1AS)
