Very Computer

Hi,
here is what I wanna do

----------------------
#!/bin/ksh
<snip>
while read old_user old_machine
do

    userhome=`ypcat passwd | grep $old_user | cut -d: -f6 | cut -d/ -f3`

    case `exist_account $old_user $old_machine` in

        YES) echo "${old_user} on ${old_machine}  Now on: ${userhome}"
        ;;
        NO) :
        ;;
    esac

done <${old_moves}
-------------------

$old_moves consists of a file with two columns and a lot rows. When I
use 'set -x' it comes to the redirect gives out the value of $old_moves
and stops with "cannot open". So what's wrong with it?

The $old_moves file does not exist or does not have read permission.  If
your script has been anywhere near a Windows machine, watch out for ^M
characters at the end of lines, like the line that sets the variable
old_moves.

No sory. Rights are 644 and it's completely UNIX format. And this is the
look oh the file:

I would be lucky if anyone has a idea.

You haven't said what is in the ${old_moves} variable.  Does it have
the path to the file and the filename?  Or does it have the contents
of the file?

Sorry, here it is.
old_moves=`cat /PROJECT/var/move.tst.tmp`

Change that line to:

  old_moves=/PROJECT/var/move.tst.tmp

and you'll be much happier with the results.
