well, I surprised that you never heard something like "code tags" during your one year.

anyways, Whenever you post the code (or part of your code), Please select the code and click on the "#" button on the toolbar.
you can see the difference between your post and others reply in this thread.


about your problem:
Code:
server_status= some command | grep "Total error: 0"

what is the actual command here?
also if there is a command then you have to use "$()" or "``".
Code:
server_status=$(some command | grep "Total error: 0")

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
