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
}
