Would something like this, base on a case statement work?

Code:

$ cat case_test
t1=Red
t2=Yellow
t3=Green
t4=Brown
t5=Blue
t6=Pink
t7=Black

case $1 in
 $t1) echo "The red ball is worth 1 point."         ;;
 $t2) echo "The yellow ball is worth 2 points."     ;;
 $t3) echo "The green ball is worth 3 points."      ;;
 $t4) echo "The brown ball is worth 4 points."      ;;
 $t5) echo "The blue ball is worth 5 points."       ;;
 $t6) echo "The pink ball is worth 6 points."       ;;
 $t7) echo "The black ball is worth 7 points."      ;;
 *)   echo "Any other option is a foul."            ;;
esac

I get the following simple sample output:-

Code:

$ ./case_test Yellow
The yellow ball is worth 2 points.
$ ./case_test White 
Any other option is a foul.
$

You could easily set the variables t1, t2, t3 etc. based on your tail output and set all the others to be dummy or the like to effectively switch off those tests.

Does that give you an angle?
