nawk on solaris 9

if ( 1 = 1 ) {
cmd="sendfile.ksh "
cmd | getline
close(cmd)
break
{

the sendfile.ksh has this

ftp -nv <<EOF
open #.#.#.#
user ftpuser ftpuserpasswd
put filetoexport.dat
close
bye
EOF

the sendfile.ksh is executed but the awk throw this message
"No control connection for command: Broken pipe" just at the end of
ftp. and the ftp is not done.

TIA.

how do you know? also, ending it in ".ksh" is misleading since without
the shebang, it'll be executed by whatever shell awk chooses.

but the awk throw this message

Maybe you'll get some insight here:

otherwise, you may be better off asking at comp.unix.questions or
comp.unix.shell.

Really thanks Ed. I'll put the shabang and I'll be R'ngTFM. I guess
whatever the bash it uses is just a simple ftp.
