Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello Im working on a script for work. This is what I got so far:

[#!/bin/ksh]
[# select working directory]
[dir_Name=/u/chry3770]
[cd ${dir_Name}]
[check_status=$(status_3770 chry3770)]
[echo ${check_status}]

this will check some lines for connectivity now my question

when I put the command in unix i get this output:
Checking status of /u/chry3770 3770 Session services.
B377004e : Script input: * stts

B3770042 : (2) ANY Output File = chry3770.fil.2
B377003d : (2)-----------------------------------------------------------------

my output when I run the script is the following:

is there anything I can do so that my output is the same with the actual one.

Thanks in advance ill really apreciate an answer.

use double quotes,

Code:

echo "${check_status}"

... edit your original post and use [code] tags for code and sample.

thank you sir that did the trick. I have change the post hope its ok now. This is my first time posting in this forum.

I am trying to send an email to my email when the output looks like this

B377004e : Script input: * stts
B377003d : (1)-----------------------------------------------------------------
B377003e : (1) Status for PU:VISCHPU - LU:VISCHLU2

B3770040 : (1) RUs sent = 0
B3770041 : (1) RUs received = 1
B3770042 : (1) ANY Output File = chry3770.fil.1
B377003d : (1)-----------------------------------------------------------------
B377003d : (2)-----------------------------------------------------------------

thanks in advance

No not like that , thanks for trying

Edit your post and at the begining of your code/data sample put [code] tag , and at the end of your code/data sample close the [/code+] tag (remove the + sign)
Your code should look like this:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
# select working directory
dir_Name=/u/chry3770
cd ${dir_Name}
check_status=$(status_3770 chry3770)
echo ${check_status

Click on Reply and you will see the [code] tags.
