What is the error?

Are you sure it's not the if statement ?

Code:

if [ "$(Alarms)" -eq 0 ]

# this will try to run the command 'Alarms' and compare the return code with 0

Code:

if [ "${Alarms}" -eq 0 ]

# this will compare the value of the variable Alarms with 0

Code:

case "$Alarms" in
 "0" ) echo "0" ;;
