APM - Define monitor columns failed - error msg

Question

When trying to "Get script output" in one of my linux/unix script monitors I keep getting an error msg saying Define monitor columns failed.  Originally the script was working and had 6 different things it was checking with unique identifiers, but I stripped it down to 1 thinking maybe a timeout was the issue.. Here's the script body, maybe I'm missing something

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#set -x

status=`ps -ef | grep ora_smon_gpop1 | grep -v grep`

if [[ x$status = x ]]; then
    echo "
Statistic: 0"
    echo "
Message: $status"

else
        echo "
Message: $status"
        echo "
Statistic: 1"

fi

Originally it was checking for 6 different oracle procs and had unique identifiers for Statistic/Message and it worked. I tried copying the exact original script to a new template and it magically stopped working.  Suggestions?

It's not the answer unfortunately Danielle.  When I originally built that script monitor it pulled the script output and found the unique identifiers just fine. However, now if you go back into that app and try to add or remove anything and update the script output it just fails. I even tried not changing anything at all, leaving the script completely unchanged and just clicking "Get script output", but it still comes back with the Define monitor columns failed.

*edit* to expand on that it now seems no matter what kind of script I throw together they all come back with the error, even the most basic of scripts
