Using an awk program, I am trying to set the values of pid and pseudo in a
shell script to be used in other commands. So far I have:
:
logname=digna
pid=
pseudo=
ps -ef | grep xcrt | awk -v user=$logname -v pid=$pid -v pseudo=$pseudo '
( $1 == user && $8 == "/usr/lib/merge/xcrt" ) { print $1,$2 }
( $1 == user && $8 == "/usr/lib/merge/xcrt" ) { pid = $2 }
( $1 == user && $8 == "/usr/lib/merge/xcrt" ) { pseudo = $6 }
'
echo $pid
echo $pseudo
exit

This program executes fine. It just doesn't set pid & pseudo.
Could some kind soul show mercy and explain the error?????

TIA
Ron
