if [ "$TYPE" = "load" ]; then
INDATA=`cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f2 | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/^0//g'`
OUTDATA=`cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f3 | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/^0//g'`
fi
What are the error messages you are getting when running the command? Has the variable $TYPE been set in the environment? Are the switches you provided for cat, vut, and sed the same as in linux?

linux command doesnt work on freebsd so i have to use sysctl vm.loadavg instead..
*********linux system**********
[(01:37 PM)][(root@dedicated)] [(~)] $ cat /proc/loadavg
2.73 2.51 2.24 3/195 16583
[(01:37 PM)][(root@dedicated)] [(~)] $ uptime

$ sysctl vm.loadavg
vm.loadavg: { 0.09 0.27 0.38 }
then doing this
$ sysctl vm.loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f3 | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/^0//g'
09
the 09 its supposed to be 009
then
$ sysctl vm.loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f2 | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/^0//g'

all im trying to do is show the same as linux

seems to me like the cut command is different in freebsd, no?

i would say try cut -f4 instead of f2 on the second statement and i believe rance is correct regarding sed since it is not replacing/removing the proper characters
stop chaining all your commands together, strip them all off and add them back one at a time, study the output each time.
what did you get, what did you think you were supposed to get,
where is it broke?
at the cut, the first sed, or the second sed, or is your original data input not what you think it is?

I posted this in your other thread, try
uptime |awk '{print $8 $9 $10}'
you could tr -d the comma, if you only need one of those (tried with openbsd but should be similar anywhere)

on freebsd you dont need the second sed, the first on that strips out the '.' seems to return the data you want.
Im not really sure why you thought you needed the second one.
