Monks, I have a system utility (sysutil) on a Solaris 9 box that produces output similar to the following: 
HOST             ID APP               CONN   SESS JOB
server           0  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           1  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           2  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           3  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           4  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           5  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           6  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
server           7  applic   14:40:28    0      0   0
          Total                          0      0   0

In my perl script, I want to extract just the Total line (which can be in various places depending on the number of servers in the list). I am using the following, which I would expect to work, but it returns null. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? 
$part = `sysutil | awk '{print \$2,\$3,\$4,\$5}'| grep Total`;
