How to execute multiple commands in one shot?
for example:

I'm greping the process where i can get the location of the file
Code:
$  ps -ef | grep LLAWP |  awk {'print $9'} | tail -1
/Hostname/ihs/INSTANCE2/conf/WebAgent.conf

then I need to display second line of WebAgent.conf file:
Code:
$ cat /Hostname/ihs/INSTANCE1/conf/WebAgent.conf | head -2 | tail -1
# Web Agent Version = 12.50, Build = 841, Update = 02

this works:
Code:
cat `ps -ef | grep LLAWP |  awk {'print $9'} | tail -1`| head -2 | tail -1

But If I put that in a script and run it will fail...

Pls advice me.

Hi,
Please use code tag while posting your code.

Could this help you ?
Code:
 
cat $(ps -ef | grep LLAWP | awk {'print $9'} | tail -1) | sed -n '2p'

Thanks

This can for sure be shorten some, and the awk is wrong
wrong awk {'print $9'}, ok awk '{print $9}'
Code:
cat $(ps -ef | awk '/LLAWP/ {a=$9} END {print a}') | sed -n '2p'
