linux - How to assign the output of uniq command to a variable in shell script -

i writing script check status of server confirm if server started or failed start. server has 2 jvms. check either of jvms or not using uniq command.

lets jvm1 got failed , jvm2 started, below command

sh /home/wasprofile/`hostname`/bin/serverstatus.sh -all > /tmp/serverstate grep "application server" /tmp/serverstate|awk '{print $7}'|uniq

will show output as:

failed started

so how should assign output 2 different variables in runtime ?? mean this:

a=failed b=started

any help on appreciated.

you can utilize read process substitution:

read b < <(awk '/application server/ && !seen[$7]++{printf "%s ", $7}' /tmp/serverstate)

ps: can avoid grep , uniq both using awk.
