I apologize to everyone helping out here, I posted such a bad sample of what I'm actually doing. Anyway this one below is much closer to what I'm actually doing.

Code:
RHEL:syslogd:"sed -i 's/^syslogd.*$/&\n*ACTION \/etc\/init.d\/syslog start/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"
RHEL:ntpd:"sed -i 's/^ntpd.*$/&\n*ACTION \/etc\/init.d\/ntpd start/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"
RHEL:scopeux:"sed -i 's/^scopeux.*$/&\n*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"

SUSE:cron:"sed -i 's/^cron.*$/&\n*ACTION \/etc\/init.d\/cron start/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"
SUSE:scopeux:"sed -i 's/^scopeux.*$/&\n*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"
SUSE:midaemon:"sed -i 's/^midaemon.*$/&\n*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' $CFG_DIR/ps_mon.cfg"

HP-UX:scopeux:"find $CFG_DIR -name "ps_mon.cfg" | while IFS= read -r file; do sed 's/^scopeux.*$/&@*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' "$file" | tr '@' '\n' > tmp && mv tmp "$file"; done"
HP-UX:midaemon:"find $CFG_DIR -name "ps_mon.cfg" | while IFS= read -r file; do sed 's/^midaemon.*$/&@*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' "$file" | tr '@' '\n' > tmp && mv tmp "$file"; done"
HP-UX:perfalarm:"find $CFG_DIR -name "ps_mon.cfg" | while IFS= read -r file; do sed 's/^perfalarm.*$/&@*ACTION \/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa start all/' "$file" | tr '@' '\n' > tmp && mv tmp "$file"; done"

I've just found a way on how to deal with \n special character in HP-UX thus the above. Anyway, I replaced the delimiters with ":" because spaces inside the commands in quotes are problematic. When I try the code below in HP-UX:

Code:
for line in `cat sample.ctl`
do
echo $line
done

I get the output below:

Code:
HP-UX:scopeux:"find
$CFG_DIR
-name
"ps_mon.cfg"
|
while
IFS=
read
-r
file;
do
sed
's/^scopeux.*$/&@*ACTION
\/opt\/perf\/bin\/ovpa
start
all/'
"$file"
|
tr
'@'
'
'
>
tmp
&&
mv
tmp
"$file";
done"

That's why I can't use awk to assign variables. The only way I've seen so far to solve this is to replace the spaces with another character, like a comma, then remove the comma with sed substitution when I assign the command on a variable. Too much of a hassle. If you have a way to simplify this, please let me know.

Thanks for the help so far.

logfetch

LOGFETCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						       LOGFETCH(1)

NAME

       logfetch - Xymon client data collector

SYNOPSIS

       logfetch CONFIGFILE STATUSFILE

DESCRIPTION

       logfetch  is part of the Xymon client. It is responsible for collecting data from logfiles, and other file-related data, which is then sent
       to the Xymon server for analysis.

       logfetch uses a configuration file, which is automatically retrieved from the Xymon server. There is no	configuration  done  locally.  The
       configuration  file is usually stored in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.cfg file, but editing this file has no effect since it is re-written with
       data from the Xymon server each time the client runs.

       logfetch stores information about what parts of the monitored logfiles have been processed already in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.status file.
       This file is an internal file used by logfetch, and should not be edited. If deleted, it will be re-created automatically.

SECURITY

       logfetch  needs	read access to the logfiles it should monitor. If you configure monitoring of files or directories through the "file:" and
       "dir:" entries in client-local.cfg(5) then logfetch will require at least read-acces to the directory where the file  is  located.  If  you
       request checksum calculation for a file, then it must be readable by the Xymon client user.

       Do  NOT	install  logfetch  as  suid-root. There is no way that logfetch can check whether the configuration file it uses has been tampered
       with, so installing logfetch with suid-root privileges could allow an attacker to read any file on the system by using a hand-crafted  con-
       figuration file. In fact, logfetch will attempt to remove its own suid-root setup if it detects that it has been installed suid-root.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DU     Command  used  to collect information about the size of directories.  By default, this is the command du -k. If the local du-command
	      on the client does not recognize the "-k" option, you should set the DU environment  variable  in  the  $BBHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
	      file to a command that does report directory sizes in kilobytes.

FILES

       $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.cfg

       $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.status
