The above script executed successfully. and it returned Ok.

I use ksh and rewritten frist script as

grep -E "The maxinum number generated : [0-9]{9}$" $FILE 2>&1 >/dev/null && {echo " strat next job"} || { exit 1 }

even i used without E option also. but i can't get the output. Can you tell me what went wrong.

you need a space after openning curly brackets and a semi-colon and a space before closing curly brackets, like this
Code:
grep -E "The maxinum number generated : [0-9]{9}$" $FILE 2>&1 >/dev/null && { echo " strat next job"; } || { exit 1; }
