the error which was coming was due to below line

Code:
awk: cmd. line:6: cmd="sh /opt/hqe/hqapi1-client-5.0.0/bin/hqapi.sh  alertdefinition list --id=$myAlertDefID --host=localhost --port=7443 --user=hqadmin --password=hqadmin --secure=true | 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)'

lets forget about that... the alDFid is defined below is the output

Code:
13214
priority=
ID=10101
NAME=APP-MS-lib_license_common-150040-licenseSchemaTampered-S_R
FIXED=true
DATE= 2013-01-22 07:54:51.3
AlDefID=13214

where the line above priority is alDFid
the snippet which i used was

Code:
awk -F'[=|"|<|>|,]' '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){
 if($i=="Alert id") {
  if(id!="")
        if(dt!=""){
printf "%s\n",alDFid;
cmd="sh someScript.sh alDFid"
cmd | getline prio
print "priority=" prio
close(cmd)
 printf "ID=%d\nNAME=%s\nFIXED=%s\nDATE=%s\nAlDefID=%d\n\n", id,nm,fx,dt,alDFid; }
  id=($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

in the above i want to pass the content of alDFid to someScript.sh script. But current implementation is passing string "alDFid " to the script.

trace-cmd-hist

TRACE-CMD-HIST(1)														 TRACE-CMD-HIST(1)

NAME

       trace-cmd-hist - show histogram of events in trace.dat file

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd hist [OPTIONS][input-file]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) hist displays a histogram form from the trace.dat file. Instead of showing the events as they were ordered, it creates a
       histogram that can be displayed per task or for all tasks where the most common events appear first. It uses the function tracer and call
       stacks that it finds to try to put together a call graph of the events.

OPTIONS

       -i input-file
	   By default, trace-cmd hist will read the file trace.dat. But the -i option open up the given input-file instead. Note, the input file
	   may also be specified as the last item on the command line.

       -P
	   To compact all events and show the call graphs by ignoring tasks and different PIDs, add the -P to do so. Instead of showing the task
	   name, it will group all chains together and show "<all pids>".

SEE ALSO

       trace-cmd(1), trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-report(1), trace-cmd-start(1), trace-cmd-stop(1), trace-cmd-extract(1), trace-cmd-reset(1),
