You've matched a ` and a '.  That is not how the shell works.  Match ` with
` and ' with '.

Since you're using ksh, you have the standard, nestable POSIX command
expansion syntax available instead of the backticks.

    output=$(policymgr_show -A -B 0x7 > /dev/null | grep -E "input")

This has the additional advantage that you don't need to quote any
additional characters to make them survive inside the command expansion.
