AIX how to read the file in function again and again

dear friends

I have a wrote a shell script which works like this.
1.) a command is executed and the log is moved in the file.
2.) this file is copied in to the other file.
3.) used a grep command to find a particular word.
4.) if a particular word is there then the script will go to next step else it will sleep for 20 seconds.
5.) the source file which is now appended after sleep of 20 seconds will be copied the other file.
6.) the updated other file is read a particluar word is searched again.

the script is as shown below.

Code:

searchstring()
{
if [ `echo $req1 | grep -c "SUCCESS" ` -gt 0 ]
then
  echo "Sleep 10"
else
  echo "sleep 50"
  sleep 50
  cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
  searchstring
fi
}
cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
req1=`grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt`
#echo $req1
searchstring

now after executing this sheel script the copied file is showing the word that i want but it is executing else part and the same step is getting repeated.

i hope you people will help me.

PARAMETERS
