I think that the former thread is not correct.
What I am trying to do is when the script is triggered by
an ip address, it goes to a file called ipconnect.txt and
print the row that has the corresponding ip address in it.
The data in ipconnect is a list of ip address followed by a
tab and then the owner's ip address.
This is the entire script and I think that the netstat is
what need to be looked at.

export HOUR=`/usr/bin/date +%H`
export MINUTE=`/usr/bin/date +%M`
export REMOTECOUNT=`ps -ef | grep LOCAL=NO | wc -l`;
if [ $REMOTECOUNT -ne 1 ]
then
export REMOTER=`expr ${REMOTECOUNT} - 1`
print $REMOTER "=REMOTE CONNECTIONS" > /cron/test_listen_out;
netstat -an | grep "50.1521" | cut -c22-42 | egrep -v /cron/stars >> /cron/test_listen_out;
export DAVIDCOUNT=`fgrep -ce 140.147.146.146 /ipconnect.txt`;
fgrep 140.147.146.146 >> /cron/test_listen_out;
if [ $DAVIDCOUNT -ne 0 ]
then
print "David Williamson" >> /cron/test_listen_out;
