Move mailx command out of awk command
Code:
awk ' /is missing/ { flag=1;print > "baby_missing.txt" }
END { 
if( flag != 1 ) 
print "no file is missing in system" > "baby_nomissing.txt" 
} ' baby.txt
mailx -c "`cat ccfile.txt`" -s \'"Missing tap file status $today'" "`cat tofile.txt`" < missing.msg

or if you want to execute within awk use system function
Code:
system("mailx ...")

system("mailx ...")

if i put the mailx out of awk, the mail will be send out whatever it's missing or not.
I just want to send mail if the baby_missing.txt exist..

Add this code after the awk code
Code:
if [ -s "baby_missing.txt" ]
then
   mailx ...
fi

what do you mean after? After the whole code below?

awk ' /is missing/ { flag=1;print > "baby_missing.txt" }
END {
if( flag != 1 )
print "no file is missing in system" > "baby_nomissing.txt"
} ' baby.txt
if [ -s "baby_missing.txt" ]
then
mailx ...
fi
