Go to a command prompt and actually type in the command wc -l coshb.txt and you'll understand why..

You could substitute this:

fil_len=`wc -l < coshb.txt | awk '{print $1}'`

NAME
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is detected. This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[1] for more information on the console= kernel parameter. systemd-getty-generator implements the generator specification[2]. Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and Elsewhere)[3]. SEE ALSO
