But, I may be thick-witted, but the entire problem escapes me, even with the new sample.
OK, you have the OS - however determined - in the first field. What is the second field for? And, why not just list the commands to be executed in a list right after the OS paragraph header?
Please give some consistent context / background to help people understand what you're after. The HP-UX problem from post#1 seems to have disappeared in the new sample?
The script is for modifying a specific configuration file (ps_mon.cfg) on different servers. The 2nd field is there, so that the script will search for that keyword first in the config file, and if there's an *ACTION already added in the next line after that keyword, will not proceed on executing the command in the 3rd field. Otherwise, the script will execute the command to insert that *ACTION line after the keyword. Obviously, I have those sorted in, though I'm open to suggestions if you have simpler code since I'm a clunky coder.
Once the script got the OS of the server it will execute on, for example RHEL, how can I get only the lines with RHEL, then assign the second field to $PROCESS and the third field to $COMMAND in a loop, so that I can accomplish the above?
