Do we need grep -e here ?
It does not give us anything in the pattern we are using.

   -e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
               Use  PATTERN  as  the pattern.  This can be used to 
specify multiple search patterns, or to protect a pattern beginning
               with a hyphen (-).  (-e is specified by POSIX.)

(And we do not need the "" either, there is no space in brokensha1)
We can simply use:
! grep brokensha1 output
