Code:
	cd /usr/local/scripts
	./build update
	./build versions | grep available
	if [ $? == 0 ]
then
		mail -s "update for server `hostname`" $EMAIL
	else
		echo -e "$YELLOW No update $RESET"
	fi
	echo "Please press a key - Back to main menu . . ." ; read

Your logic is correct but change the syntax as if [ $? -eq 0 ]. We use == for string comparison.
