[arm-allstar] Feature request

I've almost got this running. It sets the fob output low when there is 
an alert, (when the file size is greater than 0 bytes), but when the 
alert clears (file size is zero) the script hangs, or doesn't do 
anything, doesn't clear the fob bit.  I flipped the logic the opposite 
way from the original, so a ground on the fob pin indicates an active 
alert.  I've checked for typos or syntax and it looks OK to me.  Here is 
the script:

#!/bin/bash

FOB_BIT=1

# Set node to operate on

if [ -z $1 ]
  then
    node="46259"
else
    node=$2
fi

# Clear bit to start
Current_state=1

while :
do
   if [ -s /tmp/AUTOSKY/warnings.txt ]
     then
       if [ $Current_state = 1 ]
         then
              /bin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd $node cop 62 GPIO$FOB_BIT=0"
              echo "Alert Active - sending 0 to FOB GPIO$FOB_BIT"
              Current_state=0
       fi
     else
       Alert_set=0
       if [ $Current_state = 0 ]
          then
              echo "No Active Alert - sending 1 to FOB GPIO$FOB_BIT"
              /bin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd $node cop 62 GPIO$FOB_BIT=1"
              Current_state=1
       fi
   fi
sleep 5
done
