Script Output Displays Multiple Text
Hello there,

I'm using a read-while loop to preserve the word Failed within a text file. For example, if the word Failed exist twice in a single text file, my STDOUT should re-direct to a new text file and display Failed twice.

My output is attached to this thread. I would like output to display only 5 lines not 20 lines. Based on my script, my echo command is only calling variable one time, not four times, according to script output.

Below is my script:
Code:
 #!/bin/bash

var="TestServer"
file="/usr/local/bin/Production/ESXiTestServer/cron.log"
go=$(grep 'Failed' "$file")

while read line; do
echo "from:me
subject:Failure on $var
message:${go}" >> mywindowsfile.txt

# Convert linux txt file to Windows txt format
awk 'sub("$", "\r")' mywindowsfile.txt > mywindows.txt

done < "$file"

I don't know exactly what is going on with output. Any suggestions on how to fix my output. My goal is to have output look like this:
Code:
from:TestServer@email.com
subject:Failure on TestServer
message: Physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 36 GB, Failed)
              Physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 36 GB, Failed)

pk-debuginfo-install

PK-DEBUGINFO-INSTA(1)						  [FIXME: manual]					     PK-DEBUGINFO-INSTA(1)

NAME

       pk-debuginfo-install - Debugging Packages Installer

SYNOPSIS

       pk-debuginfo-install [--help] [--verbose] [--simulate] [--no-depends]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pk-debuginfo-install command.

       pk-debuginfo-install is the command line client for installing debuginfo packages.

WHY DO I NEED DEBUGINFO PACKAGES
?
       When a program crashes, it's often useful to send the developer a backtrace which contains symbol names and variable contents, rather than
       memory addresses. To make this possible, extra packages called debug packages can be installed.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       --help
	   Show summary of options.

       --noninteractive
	   Do not be interactive and skip the confirmation before the packages are installed.

       --verbose
	   Show extra debugging information.

       --simulate
	   Don't actually install any packages, only simulate what would be installed.

       --no-depends
	   Do not scan for, or install dependencies of the core packages.

       --quiet
	   Do not display information or progress to the terminal.

RETURN VALUES

       0
	   Success, at least one package was installed

       1
	   Failed with miscellaneous internal error.

       3
	   Failed to get software sources list.

       4
	   Failed to enable software sources.

       5
	   Failed as nothing to do.

       6
	   Failed to find dependent packages.

       7
	   Failed to install.

       8
	   Failed to disable software sources.
