thank you very much for the reply. I was playing around with variables but couldnt get the if then syntax down. I imagine the "0" means that it is equalling true?

I will try that now! Smilie

I was close:

Code:

GRP1=$(grep --quiet "Outtage" newfile)
GRP2=$(grep --quiet "0" outage.txt)

if [[ $GRP1 == 0 && $GRP2 == 0 ]]; then

        echo both conditions met
fi
