Shell Programming and Scripting

Use the fact that if "C" is greater than 2 to send your email. I wouldnt try to do it within Awk, though you can using the system () command to send your email via Awk if you choose to do that. Take a look at the Awk Guide on www.gnu.org for details on using system()

Code:

if [ "$c" -gt "2" ]
  then
    echo "Uh Oh. We got a problem"
    mailx -s "Houston We Have A Problem" -r "return-address" email@email.com < log_file
fi

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I am sorry again bothering you again on this.
I tried the above suggestion. But looks like there is problem the way "if condition is used". I hit an error on if part.

c=`awk -F"," '{ print NF }' $file1`

if [ $c -gt "2" ] ---->I also tried if [ "$c" -gt "2" ]
then
echo "$message3" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "$SUBJECT_EMAIL" $toMail
else
echo "else part"
fi

The error is: Class_Delete_FileCorruption_Check.sh[2]: 2: unknown test operator
else part
Can you please guide me what is going wrong on the "IF" statement.

Make sure that there is exactly 1 space after the first [ and exactly one space before the ].

What is $c being set to when you run that awk statement?

Can you post more of your shell script? Use code tags around the code to preserve formatting. \[code] and \[\/code] (do not include the leading \ characters)

Why not try something like...

Code:

awk 'NF!=2{exit 33}' $file
if [[ $? -eq 33 ]]
then 
    echo "$message" | mailx -s "$subject" $toMail
fi

it seems to me the error here is from the multiple line result of the awk test ... maybe if awk tested for NF per each line this could work ...
