I have tried that, but exec fails...
exec ( 'egrep', "-c" , $lookFor , @{$LOGS[($_ -1)]} ) unless $pid=fork; #
fork new process for cmd

is my current line.. I have tried several different ways to add the > out
and no go
exec ( 'egrep', "-c" , $lookFor , @{$LOGS[($_ -1)]}, " >out" ) unless
$pid=fork; # fork new process for cmd
results in an error unknown command > out

just need the right syntax
