I want to compare the above values and if all of them are more than 50 then echo "Problem". In the above mentioned case, it will not echo "Problem" because first value i.e. 16 is less than 50

Try this:

Code:

grep -i 'mysql processes' | awk ' $1 > 50 {print $1, "Problem"}'

Code:

awk 'END { if (!f) print "Problem" }
/[Mm][Yy][Ss][Qq][Ll]/ && $1 < 50 { ++f; exit }
' myprocesses.txt

If you want to check only the last 10 lines:

Code:

tail ... | awk ...
