[rrd-users] problem update with crontab

[zura baizura]

heloo...

im using redhat 8.0 and rrdtool 1.2.15
my propose using rrdtool is for graphing my collection
of data from just a simple electronic circuit.

i called my electronic circuit as 'sensor' because  it
can gave me a value of voltage(eg:4.4V,3.1V and so on
...)every 5 minutes.

so with the data , i want to show a graph that's why i
use rrdtool .


my project using rrdtool now at the stage to update .
i have create a bash script , here it is.
-----------my_script_CREATE-----------------------
#!/bin/sh
rrdtool create sss.rrd --step 300 \
DS:voltan:GAUGE:600:0:U   \
RRA:LAST:0.5:1:200

---------------my_script_UPDATE---------------------
#!/bin/sh
         DATA=`gawk {print $1} | tail -1 
/home/baizura/percubaan/reading`
        echo $DATA
        TIMESTAMP=`date +%s`
        echo $TIMESTAMP
        rrdtool update sss.rrd $TIMESTAMP:$DATA
rrdtool fetch sss.rrd LAST --start 1173839600
------------------------------------------------


my problem is every time i run my script , i can get
the result like below:
[root at localhost percubaan]# ./lost.sh
gawk: cmd. line:2: (END OF FILE)
gawk: cmd. line:2: parse error
