if then for non-zero

You can do it simpler, but I am assuming that you might have several things to do when a non-zero is found.
This is looking for the last one line of the file; knowing that the value will be on that line.


x=$(tail -1 sqlplus.out)

echo $x
if [ $x -ne 0 ]
then
echo "You have found a non-zero value"
fi
