Seems like the only occurrence of "-gt" is in the $PARTS_WRITTEN line.

The output you quoted in your earlier email mentions
   Parts written =  >> dd.report.Dailys-17
.  Does that mean that the PARTS_WRITTEN variable actaully contained the value
">> dd.report.Dailys-17"?  That would definitely not parse out well in
the if condition...

If add quotes around the variable (i.e. you change that line to 
  if [ "$PARTS_WRITTEN" -gt 0 ]; then
), I think that would prevent the script from erroring out at that
spot (and is generally a good idea).


However, this does lead to the followup question of how PARTS_WRITTEN is
(supposed to be) getting set in the first place?

(Given the other parts of your original email, I'll hazard a guess that
the script is trying to parse the output of amstatus, but the parsing
code is confused by the warning message amstatus is currently
generating....)
