Help On If Statement!!
A quick question:

If i have a while loop which looks for totals and if two totals don't match then output a message in an email as a warning, this loop goes round four times.

I want to only email the person if a set of figures does not match. to do this i was going to put it in an if statement after the while loop. see below:

if [ $ATTENTION = ON ]
then
#email all users
mailx -r $MAIL_FROM -s "xxxxx Counts **WARNING: ERROR CHECK**" $EMAIL < $MSG_DEST
fi

the problem is during the loop the first set of data might set $ATTENTION to ON but the rest might be off. When i echo the $ATTENTION it says OFF so the above loop does not work. So what do i want to do is basically say if $ATTENTION is at any time set to ON then email??

how can this be done?

NAME

       script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications

DESCRIPTION

       script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
       addresses specified in the MAILTO property.

PROPERTIES

       This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
       script configuration.

       MAILTO

	   List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
	     property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"

EXAMPLE

       In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server.  The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
       the email system unchanged.  The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
       notification.
	define script-tool pre-email {
	  comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
	  plugin  "script-email"
	  execute-on pre-dle-backup
	  execute-where server
	  property "mailto" "amanda"
	}

	define dumptype user-tar-email {
	  user-tar
	  script "pre-email"
	}
