Hi all,

I have a loop which I need to test something in each loop and if the test
pasts increment the counter. When the loops end and the counter = the number
of loops, I know it passed on every loop..

What's the easiest method as I have the below script which works but the
$TOTAL is messy...

for COUNT in 1 2 3 4 5
        do
                sleep 1
                TMP=`ps -ef | grep $PROC | grep -v grep`
                TEST="`echo $TMP | cut -f 4 -d \" \"`"
                if [ "$TEST" -gt "2" ]
                then
                        TOTAL=$TOTAL"X"
                fi
        done
        if [ "$TOTAL" -gt "XXXX" ]   <------------- now messy is that and it
don't work!!! I get errors...
        then blah blah blah..............

Is there a way? I've never needed it 'til now..
thanks,
