Shell script

Hi

    I have a script that perform security settings  on Solaris servers
And I need to modify it so that I can import the results to a mysql db
It is a very long script separated into many modual.

What I need to do is echo the output of individual command and log them
To a file with notations.

Here is a example of one loop  (there a several)
echo Enable stack protection
if [ ! "`grep noexec_user_stack /etc/system`" ]; then
cat <<END_CFG >>/etc/system
* Attempt to prevent and log stack-smashing attacks
set noexec_user_stack = 1
set noexec_user_stack_log = 1
cat /etc/system | grep noexec_user_stack >> /var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
cat /etc/system | grep noexec_user_stack_log >> /var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
END_CFG set noexec_user_stack=1
fi
and this sends to a log file in thi format
set noexec_user_stack=1
set noexec_user_stack_log=1

But what I need is this
“ test-num“,”set noexec_user_stack =1”,” Setting is noexec_user_stack=1”

How about something like:
grep noexec_user_stack /etc/system >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
   echo "* Attempt to prevent and log stack-smashing attacks" >>/etc/system
   echo set noexec_user_stack=1 >>/etc/system
   echo set noexec_user_stack_log=1 >>/etc/system
   grep noexec_user_stack=  /etc/system >>/var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
   grep noexec_user_stack_log=  /etc/system >>/var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
fi

Yes and no

I still need to insert in to the log some fields like so
“ test-num“,”set noexec_user_stack =1”,” Setting is noexec_user_stack=1”
 to break it down

  I still need to insert in to the log some fields like so
“ test-num“,”set noexec_user_stack =1”,” Setting is noexec_user_stack=1”
 
Single quote beginning of line “,” field separator “ end of line
 “ Required setting”,” actual setting"
How about something like:
grep noexec_user_stack /etc/system >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
   echo "* Attempt to prevent and log stack-smashing attacks" >>/etc/system
   echo set noexec_user_stack=1 >>/etc/system
   echo set noexec_user_stack_log=1 >>/etc/system
   grep noexec_user_stack=  /etc/system >>/var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
   grep noexec_user_stack_log=  /etc/system >>/var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
   echo "insert anything else you like into the log here" >>/var/tmp/`hostname`-security-setup.log
fi
That will not work

  I think  I’m not explaining myself properly

 It is not a question of inserting something in a log!  But inserting text into a single
 I need the results of a command  plus some text in a single line of text
Beginning with  a quote and fields separated commas
Line like so

“Hostname”,”“Text1 here”,” text2 here”,” result here”
  “  Field1   “,”           Field2   “,”          field3  “,”        field4”
