Hi.

I had two printf's and one print. You have three printf's
Code:
    printf "$nametemp " >> tmplog
    printf "$_date " >> tmplog
    print $_ip>> tmplog

Code:
    printf "$nametemp " >> tmplog
    printf "$_date " >> tmplog
    printf $_ip>> tmplog

In any case, a single echo can do the job of these (as of course could a single printf!).

Apart from that, I run this code and get the desired output.

Of course, if you're the only logged in user there will be no results in "logfile" (given that you exclude yourself when it come to creating the "logfile").
