Question Else Loop Exiting Early

All,

I'm having a problem w/this function. Specifically, I want to call another function (get_stats) when the process in the else completes (the initial if and the elsif seem to work fine). But what's happening is the get_stats function call is running after the else runs only once, NOT when it completes. I need the else condtion to run until the process completes, THEN call get_stats. Thanks in advance!

check_ul_process()
{
PROGRAM=8675309
LONG_SLEEP=5
SLEEP_TIME=1
UL_PROCESS=$(ps -eaf | grep $PROGRAM | grep -v grep | wc -l)

# if 8675309 isn't running
# and it's not being run by cron,
# re-check

if [ $UL_PROCESS -eq 0 ]
then
while [ $LONG_SLEEP -gt 0 ]
do
if test $STARTED_BY_CRON = "False"
then
echo "\rTime to next check - $LONG_SLEEP\c"
fi
let LONG_SLEEP=LONG_SLEEP-1
sleep $SLEEP_TIME
done

LONG_SLEEP=5
check_ul_process
elsif [ $UL_PROCESS -eq 0 -a $UL_FILE_TYPE = TEMP ]

# if a ul_temp file exists
# and 8675309 is not running,
# log error and exit.

echo $(expr substr $(hostname) 5 2 | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z') "::" $(date +'%D %T') ":: Exiting. A .ul_temp file exists, but the upload process isn't running." >> /ops/log/ulgen_report.log #~/test_report.log
exit
else

# if 8675309 is running
# and it's not being run by cron,
# check it until it completes

while [ $LONG_SLEEP -gt 0 ]
do
if test $STARTED_BY_CRON = "False"
then
echo "\rTime to next check - $LONG_SLEEP\c"
fi
let LONG_SLEEP=LONG_SLEEP-1
sleep $SLEEP_TIME
done

LONG_SLEEP=5
get_stats
exit
fi
}

NAME
Excel::Template::Container::Loop - Excel::Template::Container::Loop PURPOSE
To provide looping NODE NAME
LOOP INHERITANCE
Excel::Template::Container ATTRIBUTES
o NAME This is the name of the loop. It's used to identify within the parameter set what variables to expose to the children nodes each iteration. CHILDREN
None EFFECTS
None DEPENDENCIES
None USAGE
<loop name="LOOPY"> ... Children here ... </loop> In the above example, the children nodes would have access to the LOOPY array of hashes as parameters. Each iteration through the array would expose a different hash of parameters to the children. These loops work just like HTML::Template's loops. (I promise I'll give more info here!) There is one difference - I prefer using Perl-like scoping, so accessing of variables outside the LOOP scope from within is perfectly acceptable. You can also hide outside variables with inner values, if you desire, just like Perl. AUTHOR
