{bb} BBOUT Error From bb-iostat 4.02 On AIX 5.2

[Andy France <Andy@zespri.com>]

I have recently downloaded this script from deadcat.net, and am running it
on a 2 CPU IBM p615 with AIX ML04.

When it runs, I get the following entry in BBOUT:

 bb-iostat.sh /home/zespri/bb/ext/bb-iostat.sh[7]: 2: \
   0403-012 A test command parameter is not valid.

I added a few set -x entries for the various subroutines, and believe the
error is generated by line 1419 which looks like this:

 # Delete all non-data lines and the first line after non-data
 ` $CAT $IOSTATLOG | $AWK '{if ( $0 !~ /^ *[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ \
   +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +[0-9]+ +/) {skip = 1} else \
   {if (skip == 1) {skip = 0} else {print $0} } }' >> $IOSTATDATA `

My $IOSTATLOG file contents look like this:

 System configuration: lcpu=2

 tty:      tin         tout   avg-cpu:  % user    % sys     % idle    %
iowait
           0.0          0.3               0.8      0.9       96.6       1.6
           0.0          0.0               0.2      0.2       99.5       0.0
           0.0          0.0               0.2      0.0       99.8       0.0
           0.0          0.0               0.0      0.0      100.0       0.0
           0.0          0.0               7.8     26.5       63.5       2.2

But the generated $IOSTATDATA file from the awk has zero lines.

The odd thing is that the generated vmio page correctly lists the
$IOSTATLOG entries, and calculates a value for "percent CPU usage waiting
for I/O on average." at the bottom of the page.

My awk skills aren't up to debugging the issue - can anybody else help?

TIA,
Andy.
