All right, your last request (posting #7) seems to completely differ from your first one (posting #1).
To be able to help you you need to post the sample contents of file.txt and file2.txt.
Which function has the a.txt file?
Please also post the expected output (not just describe it with words).

The system administrator can control access to events by modifying the EVM authorization file, As a daemon, does not have a standard output.
