It fills translation table T with correct headings ($NF from file1) indexed by non-conforming ones ($1). When done with file1 (titles.txt), it switches the field separator to comma, and works on file2. If a line in $3 contains a non-conforming header that is found in T, it is replaced by the correct one.

taskstat

taskstat(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      taskstat(1M)

NAME

       taskstat - prints ASET tasks status

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/aset/util/taskstat [-d aset_dir]

DESCRIPTION

       taskstat  is  located  in  the /usr/aset/util directory. /usr/aset is the default operating directory of the Automated Security Enhancement
       Tool (ASET). An alternative working directory can be specified by the administrators through the aset -d command or the ASETDIR environment
       variable.  See aset(1M). Because  aset dispatches its tasks to run in the background, when it returns, these tasks may or may not have com-
       pleted. taskstat prints the status of the tasks, listing those that are completed and those that are still executing.

       The ASET reports, which are located in the /usr/aset/reports directory (see the	-d option), are not complete until all	the  tasks  finish
       executing.

OPTIONS

       -d aset_dir     Specify	the  working  directory for ASET. By default, this directory is /usr/aset. With this option, the reports directory
		       will be located under aset_dir.
