    Okay - I see the problem - the position of the "done" in the for loop - I missed that previsouly.

    Try this instead:

    for in `cat allvmpun1235.txt`;do echo "Client:$i";./bpimagelist -d 06/01/2019 00:00:00 -e 06/17/2019 00:00:00 -client $i -l | awk '/^IMAGE/ {print $2, $7, $11}' | egrep -i "week|Full"; done

    Previously the egrep was removing the "Client: $i" line from the output - my mistake for not testing.

You could simply modify your existing script to also show the VM name (see the bold text below) -

for i in `cat allvm26-4-2019.txt`;do echo "Client: $i"; ./bpimagelist -d 04/01/2019 00:00:00 -e 04/26/2019 00:00:00 -client $i -l; done|awk '/^IMAGE/ {print $2, $7, $11}'|egrep -i "week|biweekly|weekly"

then if there are lines like:

Client: VM0
VM0 Policy0 Sched0
Client: VM1
Client: VM2
VM2 Policy2 Sched2

You will know that VM1 has not had a recent backup.

    Thanks.

     

    Still it is showing : no entity was found.

    No client name is coming along with "no entity was found"

    I need the CLient name with "no entity found".

    Currently getting below output:

     

    VM0 Policy0 Sched0

    no entity found

    no entity found

    no entity found

    VM1 Policy1 Sched1

    VM2 Policy2 Sched2

    Did you add  echo "Client: $i" ?

    Please have another look at davidmoline 's post?
