Even if one value is > 500 in last column, i am supposed to perform some specific system diagnostics. But for now in the script, i just want the script to tell me via " echo " that one or more values are > 500. I hope you understand now what i am trying to do and what is the purpose. Thanks

I'm not shure if the format of the given output is different from your original output, do you get the values of the desired column with this command?

Code:
su user -c "YourCommand | awk '{print \$(NF-1)}'"

If you don't get the correct values try to vary the column number e.g. \$(NF-2),\$(NF-3)... and so forth.
Anyway, this should do what you want assuming the column is correct:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

check=`su user -c "YourCommand | awk 'int(\$(NF-1))>500{print \"YES\";exit}' file"`

if [ "$check" == "YES" ]
then
  echo "There are one or more values > 500!!"
else
  echo "Relax..."
fi
