There are lots of scripts involved here. All of them include set -x to enable tracing, but you haven't shown us any of the results of those traces.

You say it doesn't work, but you don't explain the symptoms of how it fails? Is the count falling to 0 without kicking off the last job? Does the count never fall below 2?

After you start this job, what does the output from ps -ef look like at some point before your code fails? (Is there some oracle job running with an argument that contains the string you're counting?)

	   The job has completed.

       UNSUBMITTED
	   The job has been accepted by GRAM, but not yet submitted to the LRM.

       STAGE_IN
	   The job has been accepted by GRAM and is currently staging files prior to being submitted to the LRM.

       STAGE_OUT
	   The job has completed execution and is currently staging files from the service node to other http, GASS, or GridFTP servers.
