Read a control file
Hi I have the below .sh script which receives a argument ftpClient=$1 . This argument i am trying to read from a control file called ftpProperties.control.
Based on the argument input(client_ftx OR client_ptm),the script shall read the particular entries from the control file like ftp host,user,pwd and connect.
I have a solaris box where i use bash. The awk command is failing (error attached).This script works fine in Linux but fails when i run from solaris.
Any help is appreciated.

(1)Script
******
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

YESTERDAY=`TZ=GMT+29 date +%Y%m%d`
ftpClient=$1
ftpPropertyFile=/app/temp/ftpProperties.control
cat $ftpPropertyFile|sed -n "/$ftpClient/,/<<EOF/p"|awk -v 'RS=\n\n' '1;{exit}'|tail -n +2 > $ftpClient.txt
. ./$ftpClient.txt
echo "start of script"
ftp -nv $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
user $USER $PASSWORD
cd $SOURCEPATH
lcd /data/file
get $FILENAME1$YESTERDAY
bye
END_SCRIPT

echo "end of script"

(2)Control File
************
Code:
[client_ftx]
HOST=ftpprod.com
USER=sam
PASSWORD=abc123
SOURCEPATH=/samdir
FILENAME1="stor_cax."


[client_ptm]
HOST=ids.com 
USER=ftpuser
PASSWORD=xyz234
SOURCEPATH=/ftpdir
FILENAME1="previousday.srv"

(3)Error

Code:

       tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [file]

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_installdeb

DH_INSTALLDEB(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_INSTALLDEB(1)

NAME

       dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
       the correct permissions.

FILES

       package.postinst
       package.preinst
       package.postrm
       package.prerm
	   These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

       package.triggers
       package.shlibs
	   These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

       package.conffiles
	   This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
	   program, so there is no need to list them manually here.

       package.maintscript
	   Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters.  Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
	   arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here.  For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
	   maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.

	   A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
	   ${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
