Echo For ... Loop output into a file
Hi, All:

I have one for ... loop code to generate a list of rename statement. However, echo the loop output on screen is OK. But store the echo output into a file is not working. So come here to seek help. My basic code is:
Code:
! /bin/ksh
echo > DAS_VetFed.txt
dir=/mydirectory
cd $dir
files=`ls -h *.csv`
for file in $files
do
echo "rename " "$file " "$file " ".ack" >> DAS_VetFed.txt
done

Because for each file, echo will output as " rename filename1.csv filename1.csv.ack" on screen and should be in file. I used >> to append next output into file. But it didn't work. I am working on Solaris 11.2. Please put your comment and code. Thanks in advance.

tping

TPING(1)                                                           LAM COMMANDS                                                           TPING(1)

NAME

       tping - Send echo messages to LAM nodes.

SYNOPSIS

       tping [-hv] [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] nodes

OPTIONS

       -h            Print the command help menu.

       -v            Turn OFF verbose mode.

       -c count      Send count messages.

       -d delay      Delay delay seconds between each message.

       -l length     Each message is length bytes long.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tping  command  sends  messages  to,  and  collects replies from, a list of nodes, via the LAM echo server.  It is similar to the UNIX
       ping(8) command, and is used as a quick diagnosis of the LAM network.

       Unless options are specified, tping sends a 1 byte message an infinite number of times, displaying the roundtrip time of each message as it
       completes,  with  a delay of 1 second between roundtrips.  After the loop is broken (with keyboard interrupt, eg: ^C), tping prints statis-
       tics about all roundtrip messages.

EXAMPLES

       tping h
           Echo messages to the local node.

       tping -v n7 -l 1000 -c 10
           Echo 1000 byte messages to node 7.  Stay silent while working.  Stop after 10 roundtrips and report statistics.

BUGS

       There is no built-in timeout and tping will wait forever to receive an echo.  If no echo is received, due to a dead  link  or  node,  tping
       hangs.   Stop  the  process  with  a  keyboard suspend signal (eg: ^Z) and terminate LAM with lamhalt(1) or lamwipe(1) (although the use of
       lamwipe(1) is deprecated).
