1group_1a_dev_clientlist.out the first grep grabs both files and the
second one get the specific log with the work windows in it:

for t in `cat $DIR/1group_1a_dev_clientlist.out`
do
echo $t
#LOG=`ls -al $FILE | grep $T | grep WINDOWS | gawk '{print $9}'`
#LOG=`ls -al cygdrive/e/wsus/group_1a_DEV | grep $t | grep WINDOWS |
gawk '{print $9}'`
LOG=`ls -al $DIR | grep $t | grep WINDOWS`
echo $t
echo The value of LOG is $LOG
UPDATES_NEEDED=`cat $LOG | grep "updates detected" | tail -1`
echo $UPDATES_NEEDED
done
