Thanks for reply.

i need one more thing about displaying the output like below when i redirect the output in a file.

echo "km= `cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemFree | awk '{ print \$2 }'` "

this full command must be store in a file so what i want to add in front of that echo so as to get the output below when i run that file.

echo "km= `cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemFree | awk '{ print \$2 }'` "

in a file

Please do help or give me an suggestion for this problem.

I think you want to store the command in a file right?
this can be done like this:

echo "km= `cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemFree | awk '{ print \$2 }'` " > run.sh

> to append
>> to write a new file
