Hi Shanrunt,

I would use grep, the -q option suppress output and <(...) is a command redirection.
Code:
$ cat infile
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
$ grep -q '6' <(tail -1 infile) && echo "Found" || echo "NOT found"
NOT found                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
$ grep -q '7' <(tail -1 infile) && echo "Found" || echo "NOT found"
Found
