As i see it, not really understanding awk yet, but you're comparing a STRING (a) with an INTEGER (k).
Anyhow, so you pass a list of variables, and when it matches a certain string, you want to call that function?
Must it be awk, because bash works just fine
Code:
#!/bin/bash
my_func_local() {
echo "In func: my_func_local $1"
}
for ARG in "${@}";do
[[ $ARG = a ]] && \
my_func_local $ARG || \
echo $ARG
done
Code:
sh script.sh a b c d
In func: my_func_local a
b
c
d

initlog
initlog(8) System Manager's Manual initlog(8)NAME
initlog - log messages and events to the system logger
SYNOPSIS
initlog [-cefnpqrs] [--cmd=ARG] [--event=ARG] [--facility=ARG] [--name=ARG] [--priority=ARG] [--run=ARG] [--string=ARG]
DESCRIPTION
initlog logs messages and events to the system logger. It is mainly designed for use in init scripts. initlog reads a configuration file
/etc/initlog.conf by default, to determine its settings. Any line preceded with a # is a comment, and the following configuration direc-
tives are recognized:
facility <logging facility>
Sets the default logging facility
priority <logging priority>
Sets the default logging priority
ignore <regexp>
Messages that match the regular expression will not be logged.
initlog behavior can also be configured by command-line options.
OPTIONS
-c, --cmd=[program]
Execute the specified program, logging anything output to stdout or stderr.
-e, --event=[number]
Logs that the specified event happened. Used in conjuction with --name. Currently specified events are:
1 the action completed successfully
2 the action failed
3 the action was cancelled at user request
4 the action failed due to the failure of a dependent action
-f, --facility=[facility]
Log at the specified syslog facility. The default is daemon (see syslog(3)).
-n, --name=[string]
Log the event under the specified string, such as "inetd".
-p, --priority=[priority]
Log at the specified syslog priority. The default is notice (see syslog(3)).
-q Do not print the program's output, unless it exits with a non-zero exit code.
-r, --run=[program]
Execute the specified program, with an open file descriptor so that the program can pass back commands to initlog.
-s, --string=[string]
Log the specified string to the logger.
--conf=[file]
Specifies an alternate configuration file.
