Strip header and footer
Hi I have below requirements on the script below :
(1) I receive 2 pipe seperated file called OUT.psv and DIFF.psv with a column header.I concatenate the 2 files and create a final.psv file. I want to add another header as START_FILE to the final.psv file . How to achieve this ?

(2) I have added 3 footers using echo in the script successfully.

(3)Next day i run the script again which needs to first strip the first header which is START_FILE and last 3 headers and do the concatenate of a OUT and DIFF file and then sort . How to remove the first header and last 3 headers and the continue with my usual script to concatenate and sort ?

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cat /app/reporting/daily/OUT.psv /app/reporting/daily/temp/DIFF.psv >> /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
sort -u -t'|' -k1,1r /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
COUNT=$( wc -l) < /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
echo "END_OF_FILE" >> /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
echo "Time_Finished"$NOW >> /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
echo "RECORD_COUNT"$COUNT >> /app/reporting/daily/final.psv
rm /app/reporting/daily/OUT.psv 
rm /app/reporting/daily/temp/DIFF.psv

Output:
-------

Code:

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME

       uudemon.admin,  uudemon.cleanu,	uudemon.hour,  uudemon.poll  -	Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
       directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons

SYNOPSIS

       These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
	  /usr/lib/uucp

DESCRIPTION

       All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the  scripts,  remove
       the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.

       This  script  reports  status  to  the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
       results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID  (uucpa)	or
       root.  This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
       mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1.  This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background.  This
       script  polls  the  systems  listed  in	the  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file.  The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
       script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.

FILES

       Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files.  Contains the uucp file.

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)

       Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off
