I got it. Check it out. If you do these  \| $perfdata it give the perfdata. .

#!/bin/sh

count () { rm /tmp/tencount ; if [ tengubin =
'/usr/local/magi/bin/tengu' ] ; then /usr/local/magi/bin/tengu
countnolines >> /tmp/tencount ; else /usr/local/magi/bin/fyre
countnolines >> /tmp/tencount; fi   ; cat /tmp/tencount ;}

r=$(count)

#test critical
#r=12000

#test warning
#r=9005

w=9000

c=10000

perfdata='tengu='$r';'$w';'$c';0'

if [ "$r" -gt "$c" ]
then
       echo "Total number of Tengu rules are $r and is CRITICAL" \| $perfdata
       RETVAL=2
elif [ "$r" -gt "$w" ]
then
       echo "Warning: Total number of Tengu rules are at $r" \| $perfdata
       RETVAL=1
else
        echo "Total number of Tengu rules are at $r" \| $perfdata
        RETVAL=0
fi

exit $RETVAL
