If else - grep a string in a file
Hi all,

I would want to recieve notification only if there are sessions block in our databases.

This is my script, but it's not working. No matter what is the contents in the $OUTFILE, I get emails.

Code:
/usr/bin/cat $OUTFILE | read selected

if [ "$selected" = "no rows selected" ]
then
  echo "No session is blocked"
else
  cat $OUTFILE | mailx -s "[TESTING]Blocking sessions in $ORACLE_SID" $DBA
fi
exit


Any suggestions? Thanks!
