i get back no response when i run this command.

Did you take the proposal in post#3 and adapt it according to post#5? And, you might want to use >= in lieu of ==, so you don't need to exactly hit the thresholds...

Plus, I think your logic has a flaw in the first place:
With the OR condition TRUE, w will be incremented, which is fine as a critical value can trigger the warning threshold as well. But, the "critical" section will never be reached, and c never be incremented, as it will have triggered the second of the OR conditions...
Wouldn't sth. like
Code:
                 if ($cn >= crit)               {print; c++; w++}    
                 else   if ($cn >= warn)        {print ; w++ }    
                        else                     o++

be better?
