There are two fields actually one is server name and the other one is Time.

Based on time, there are 8 columns and these will be updated with the flag 1 if at all if there is any server name.

Can anyone tell me or guide at least how to prepare a script. I am new to unix.

Looking forward...

Where are there two fields?

First you said there are 2 fields, now you say there are 8 columns, yet your post, for the most part, only shows a single column.

Please format your post correctly (and forget the silly font changes), and describe exactly what should be updated.

Thanks for the reply:

Based on the time for e.g. 23:58 the flag 21 to 24 is updated with 1 and for the time 0:22, the flage 00to03 is updated with 1 and so on.

How can we achieve this using a shell script?

Hope i explained clearly, if not please give me a shout.

what i wanted to paste over here on earlier occasion was not getting pasted properly.

please see the stmt below:
