This seems to do the trick -
$system = `/bin/ls /dcsa-ws1/share/webadm1/public_html/system-reports/security/rhosts/
eqty | /bin/egrep -v "server|header|index|report|php|old|title" | /bin/head -$x | /b
in/tail -1 | /bin/awk '{ print $1 }'` ;
$numlin = `/bin/wc -l /dcsa-ws1/share/webadm1/public_html/system-reports/security/rhos
ts/eqty/$system` ;
Thanks.
Samir.

Any reason your cat'ing the file instead of just runing
/bin/wc -l file
also, what is the contents of $system? the backticks will expand
variables, my guess is that the first command isn't returning what
you expected.
