I thin awk will do the job alot faster. You can use the substr function in awk to parse out your data.

Use your orginal ftp statement, mine was just a example, but just add the redirect before the <<EOF in your just like I did in mine.

I'm unsure what you are doing in your wc statement with the ftp command, but I always redirect the ftp to a log and then grep from that log.



ftp -pnv > /tmp/ftp.log <<-EOF

I changed S99 to S10 and now it seems to be running at startup. Anyone know why that is? Thanks.

Yes that's the right path, as there is no rc3.d and all other runlevel programs are in the paths.

gold:/etc/init.d # ls -lrt /etc/init.d/foostart
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 143 2009-01-15 12:43 /etc/init.d/foostart

eval r${COUNT}=$num
done

echo...

cat tempIP | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f2
