Code:
if [ $count -gt 10 ]; then

It would be more efficient to open four file descriptors and then just print to those descriptors; this approximates the Perl approach I suggested above.

Code:
exec 1>rt1.txt 2>rt2.txt 3>rt3.txt 4>rt4.txt
count=1
while read line; do
  case $count in
    1|4|7) print "$line" >&1;;
    2|5|8) print "$line" >&2;;
    3|6|9) print "$line" >&3;;
    10) print "$line" >&4; count=0;;
  esac
  count=`expr $count + 1`
done <My_Test.txt

Note the use of print rather than echo -- this is ksh-specific, but other than that, this script should be portable.

pqstat

PQSTAT(1)							      pqstat								 PQSTAT(1)

NAME

       pqstat - List jobs in NetWare print queue

SYNOPSIS

       pqstat [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password
	| -n ] [ -C ] queue name [ job count ]

DESCRIPTION

       pqstat  lists specified number of jobs from the specified NetWare print queue available to you on some server. If you are already connected
       to some server, this one is used.

       If pqstat does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the jobs in print queue by doing

	 pqstat -S server queue | wc -l

       pqstat looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more  information.
       Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.

OPTIONS

       queue name
	  queue name is used to specify queue. You can not use wildcards in the name.

       job count
	  job count is used to specify how much entries will be shown. Default is to show all entries.

       -S server
	  server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user name
	  If  the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs from your unix user-id, you should use -U to tell the server about your
	  NetWare user name.

       -P password
	  You may want to give the password required by the server on the command line. You should be careful about using passwords in scripts.

       -n
	  -n should be given to mount shares which do not require a password to log in.

	  If neither -n nor -P are given, pqstat prompts for a password.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.
