[Solved] Unable to mailx new $pid for a script restart

Ill try to make this brief:

I am trying to get the script below to run another script defined as BATNAM.
The script runs fine, does what i designed it to do, however...

I would like it to mailx the NEW $pid that was restarted.

This script is supposed to go in crontab as root, and run by the min checking if $pid exists.

Lastly, should i try a diff approach, maybe a "while" or "until"? rather than "if/then/else"

I have tried sleep 10, as it does take more than 7 seconds for the script to show up in ps -ef|grep myusername.

could you pls review the code below, and make suggestions.
This is a simple syntax issue and I am unable to find it.

I am on hpux / /usr/bin/sh, and I have root if necessary.

thanks!

Code:

#!/usr/bin/sh -x
# set the locals
stty intr '^c'

# set the vars
BATDIR="/usr/script8/batch"             # batch dir
BATNAM="bat_fstsi61c.sh"                # batch process file
BATPF="bat_fstsi61.pf"                  # batch to grep
BATSVC="SIGTEST"                        # mail topic
BATPF="bat_fstsi61.pf"                  # batch to grep
SERVER="PHANTOM"                        # servername here
SDIR="/apps/sigmon/dvl/fst61"           # sigmon dir
SIN="$SDIR/in"                          # in dir
SPROC="$SDIR/proc"                      # proc dir
SLOG="/usr/script8/batch/LOGS"          # log dir
SMAIL="/usr/script8/batch/EMAILS"       # email log dir
SMAILER="petey"                         # person(s) to email

# export the vars
export BATDIR BATNAM BATSVC BATPF SERVER SDIR SIN \
SPROC SLOG SMAIL SMAILER

pid=`ps -ef|grep "$BATPF" |grep -v grep |awk -F" " '{print $2}'`
 echo $pid

if [ "$pid" = "" ]
 then
   /usr/bin/sh $BATDIR/$BATNAM
   sleep 10
   mailx -s "${SERVER} ${BATNAM} restarted" petey
   sleep 10
   echo "$pid" > $SLOG/"$BATNAM-restart-on--`date +%F-%T`"
 else
   echo "service is ok"
   pid=""
fi

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service	runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
       working directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script.  service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and stop
       commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start  com-
       mand.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

EXIT CODES

       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       /etc/init.d/skeleton,
       update-rc.d(8),
       init(8),
       invoke-rc.d(8).
