Well, that role is fairly useless. It requires the jobs to be 'Released' to be seen and that process is well and truly (and thankfully) obsolete. What are you trying to accomplish with this role?

What do you mean it "didn't work"? :? Removing it should allow everything written to 'the screen' to be captured in the log. It wasn't meant to fix anything but rather give you an idea what needed to be fixed.

First off, stop 'piping cats' as they say. The "wc" function works just fine by itself without having to cat a file to it. Secondly put something in the script to help you debug the issue, either specific echoes or use the "xtrace" option of the shell. #!/bin/ksh set -o xtrace filename=${1}...
