The command uname -a will tell you what version of what OS you're using.

It is very strange that the output from the 1st script you showed us did not contain the line:
Code:
=== Checking logs ===

Please add the following line to your script between the 1st and 2nd lines:
Code:
set -xv

and show us the output.

I don't see why the following would make any difference in the behavior of your script (except that if there are multiple errors found, they will be printed on separate lines; and a little bit of truth in advertising), but it will use less memory and run faster. Try changing:
Code:
returned=`tail -50 SapLogs.log | grep -i "Error"`
echo $returned
if [ -n "${returned}" ]; then
    echo "There is no error in the logfile"
fi

to:
Code:
tail -50 SapLogs.log | grep -i "Error"
if [ $? ]; then
    echo "There is no error in the last 50 lines in the logfile"
fi

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
