Attempting to write a script to eventually notify me via email for when there is packetloss across the backbone. I am looking for values greater than 0% in the mtr field.
With what I have above, it's echoing more than one 0% for the mtr field ( obiously) and comparing it to the zeroloss of 0% which results in it not echoing no packetloss. Do I need a for loop in there for each line?
Example when stripping script to just variables it comes up with:

mtr
MTR(8) mtr MTR(8)NAME
mtr - a network diagnostic tool
SYNOPSIS
mtr [-hvrctglspeniu46] [--help] [--version] [--report] [--report-wide] [--report-cycles COUNT] [--curses] [--split] [--raw] [--mpls] [--no-
dns] [--gtk] [--address IP.ADD.RE.SS] [--interval SECONDS] [--psize BYTES | -s BYTES] HOSTNAME [PACKETSIZE]
DESCRIPTION
mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and HOSTNAME. by sending packets with purposly low
TTLs. It continues to send packets with low TTL, noting the response time of the intervening routers. This allows mtr to print the
response percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME. A sudden increase in packetloss or response time is often an
indication of a bad (or simply overloaded) link.
OPTIONS -h
--help
Print the summary of command line argument options.
-v
--version
Print the installed version of mtr.
-r
--report
This option puts mtr into report mode. When in this mode, mtr will run for the number of cycles specified by the -c option, and
then print statistics and exit.
This mode is useful for generating statistics about network quality. Note that each running instance of mtr generates a significant
amount of network traffic. Using mtr to measure the quality of your network may result in decreased network performance.
-w
--report-wide
This option puts mtr into wide report mode. When in this mode, mtr will not cut hostnames in the report.
-c COUNT
--report-cycles COUNT
Use this option to set the number of pings sent to determine both the machines on the network and the reliability of those machines.
Each cycle lasts one second.
-s BYTES
--psize BYTES
PACKETSIZE
These options or a trailing PACKETSIZE on the commandline sets the packet size used for probing. It is in bytes inclusive IP and
ICMP headers
If set to a negative number, every iteration will use a different, random packetsize upto that number.
-t
--curses
Use this option to force mtr to use the curses based terminal interface (if available).
-e
--mpls
Use this option to tell mtr to display information from ICMP extensions for MPLS (RFC 4950) that are encoded in the response pack-
ets.
-n
--no-dns
Use this option to force mtr to display numeric IP numbers and not try to resolve the host names.
-o fields order
--order fields order
Use this option to specify the fields and their order when loading mtr.
Example: -o "LSD NBAW"
-g
--gtk
Use this option to force mtr to use the GTK+ based X11 window interface (if available). GTK+ must have been available on the system
when mtr was built for this to work. See the GTK+ web page at http://www.gimp.org/gtk/ for more information about GTK+.
-p
--split
Use this option to set mtr to spit out a format that is suitable for a split-user interface.
-l
--raw
Use this option to tell mtr to use the raw output format. This format is better suited for archival of the measurement results. It
could be parsed to be presented into any of the other display methods.
-a IP.ADD.RE.SS
--address IP.ADD.RE.SS
Use this option to bind outgoing packets' socket to specific interface, so that any packet will be sent through this interface. NOTE
that this option doesn't apply to DNS requests (which could be and could not be what you want).
-i SECONDS
--interval SECONDS
Use this option to specify the positive number of seconds between ICMP ECHO requests. The default value for this parameter is one
second.
-u
Use UDP datagrams instead of ICMP ECHO.
-4
Use IPv4 only.
-6
Use IPv6 only.
BUGS
Some modern routers give a lower priority to ICMP ECHO packets than to other network traffic. Consequently, the reliability of these
routers reported by mtr will be significantly lower than the actual reliability of these routers.
