Thanks again.
Try starting with the simple grep command, then add each command with its pipe symbol one at a time until something breaks (or, hopefully, it all works).
Note that the grep command here *is* very simple, so it is no different from the sort of thing you have used it for in the past. All the remaining lines are commands which the output is piped to, not a more complicated grep...
>> grep FOUND /var/log/messages \ >> | cut -d ":" -f 5 \ >> | sed -e "s/\ FOUND//" \ >> | sort \ >> | uniq -c \ >> | sort -r
So, start off with just:
grep FOUND /var/log/messages
This should generate lots of lines of output, but no error.
Assuming that works, add the next command and test again:
grep FOUND /var/log/messages | cut -d ":" -f 5
(or split it as shown above with a "space-backslash" at the end of the first line)
Then add more commands one at a time (you will suddenly get a whole lot less lines once you add the "uniq" command) and hopefully all will become clear...
Regards,
Antony.
