Please help me what's the problem with the script. WHen i run
as it is, it exits after processing the first line of 'found' file.

#! /sbin/sh
cat /home/xxx/found |while read line
do
f1=`echo $line | awk -F, '{print $1}'`
f6=`echo $line | awk -F, '{print $6}'`
f7=`echo $line | awk -F, '{print $7}'`
hostid=xxxxxxxx
ping $f6 && hostid=`rsh $f6 hostid`
echo $f1 $hostid $f7
done

If i comment out ping statement, i can see all the lines in 'found' file
getting processed. Any help is highly valued.

The main thing wrong with it is that you are trying to hack someone's
system.

rsh is reading its standard input and sending it to the remote system, in
case the remote command needs input. Its standard input is the pipe from
cat.

Use the -n option to rsh.
