Can you guys explain along with if statement, I tried the below

if [ $(tail -1 file | cut -d\| -f1) == "TR" ]
then
echo "Trailer record is missing on the file" | mailx -m -s "Trailer record missing" a_b@x.com
fi

But this isn't working.

If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent. OPTIONS
