If statement in a shell script
Please see part of a shell script below.

Code:
#Move folder to HOT folder
echo "   moving $PRE_OCR_DIR/$BATCHNAME to $HOT_FOLDER_DIR\n"
#chmod -R 777 $PRE_OCR_DIR/$BATCHNAME
mv $PRE_OCR_DIR/$BATCHNAME $HOT_FOLDER_DIR


I wish to write an if statement around the move
that if that if $BATCHNAME ends in an odd number
Code:
mv $PRE_OCRDIR/$BATCHNAME $HOT_FOLDER_DIR2


grateful for any help
