Bug

This is what i've got so far..

Code:
#!/bin/sh
  
  case "$1" in
    start)
	while : ; do
            ./pager.sh &&
            sleep 30
            ./pager99.sh &&

                if [ -f "pagemod.txt" ]
                then
                    :
                else
                    echo "The pagemod text was not generated during loop!"
                fi
                if [ -f "pagemod0.txt" ]
                then
                    :
                else
                    echo "The pagemod0 text was not generated during loop!"
                fi
				#COMPARE TXTS AND DETERMINE ACTION
				A=`cat pagemod.txt | head -1`                                                                        
				B=`cat pagemod.txt | head -2 | tail -1`                                                        
				C=`cat pagemod.txt | head -3 | tail -1`                                                                
				D=`cat pagemod0.txt | head -1`                                                                
				E=`cat pagemod0.txt | head -2 | tail -1`                                                        
				F=`cat pagemod0.txt | head -3 | tail -1`                                                        
				if                                                                                
					test $D -eq $A                                                                                        
					test $E -eq $B

				then                                        
					:

					cp page0.html page0BAK.html

			done
        ;;
    stop)
                #TBD/Pending conversion using wrapper
        ;;
    status)
                echo "Currently running under the following pid:
                #`ps | grep $SOME_PID | grep -v grep | cut -c 1-5`
                "
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

As far as using relative paths you make a point but i don't intend on moving them besides i want them to break if they do get copied elsewhere. As far as the background process issue, I do want them to complete so I added the extra but I would like to see an example of the wait command. I don't think i've ever used that yet. With the extra & I wonder if the script will run slower although speed is not of the utmost importance. Converted the idles. At first you lost me with the wrapper idea but i think i get it.. is it if I contain the loop, then for stopping the process it'll make it easier for the parent script?
