I tried tail -F and it worked. One minor issue is that the below part is not working.
I'm looking into it.
Thanks
Just out of curiosity, why use kill $ID instead of exit?
Is the problem that you think the script is killing itself too soon? Note that you seem to be using the same log file on every run (appending to it instead of recreating it). So, once your script has completed successfully once, the grep will always find what is it looking for immediately on subsequent runs.

zegrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
