I finally figured out that the tempfile that i was creating did not have
proper permissions for the script to write into. Now i have fixed it
using the chmod command and it is working fine.
If more than one other user executes this script at the same time,
tempfile may be overwritten by the second before the first can run
the awk line. Change this to use a pipe.
