Hi,
Then change the first line of the script from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash
No ?

        ABS_NAME=`find $TREE -name $FILENAME -print -follow  2>/dev/null`
        dir_name=`dirname ${ABS_NAME}`
        FILE=`basename ${ABS_NAME}`
        cd $dir_name
        LAST_CHAR=`od -An -tc -j $(( $(ls -l $FILE  | awk '{print $5}') - 1 )) $FILE | awk '{print $1}' | sed '/^$/d'`
        if [ "${LAST_CHAR}" != "\\n" ]
        then
                echo "New line character is missing in $FILE."
        else
                echo "$FILE ok"
        fi
done

I wanted to use "/bin/bash" for below line in script,

Code:
LAST_CHAR=`od -An -tc -j $(( $(ls -l $FILE  | awk '{print $5}') - 1 )) $FILE | awk '{print $1}' | sed '/^$/d'`

---------- Post updated at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous update was at 08:30 PM ----------

Basically the above line should get executed with /bin/bash shell as /bin/sh is having some limitations ....

remove LAST_CHAR line , just try this command Smilie
Code:
if [ $(sed -n '$p' $FILE|od -c|sed -n '1s/.*\(..\)$/\1/p') == "\n" ]

regards

Ok, then let's begin with the begining Smilie

What is the system where you wanna do that and the shell & version.
Maybe you could show us the output of :
Code:
uname -a
ls -l /bin/sh
sed --version
od --version
awk --version
grep --version
tail --version
