Marcela,
Your script sets EDITOR to an echo command which appends to $4, which is s1
in your invocation of addserver.sh.
However, tmconfig invokes $EDITOR on file /tmp/Ta$$ , where $$ is the
process ID of tmconfig. Therefore, your script
appends to s1 but leaves the file actually used by tmconfig unchanged,
resulting in an error since the name, group, and ID of the new server have
been left unspecified.
Try setting EDITOR=vi and adding the fields manually to add your server.
If you will be adding new servers frequently and want to develop a script or
program to do this, an ud32 script or a C program invoking the TM_MIB(5)
interface are probably the easiest ways to do this.
