Use grep result to execute next command

Hi I am trying to run 2 servers using a script one after the other.

I start the first one:

Code:
run.sh -c servername >> jboss_log.txt &
Then I have to wait until I see Started message in the log file before I launch the other server.

I can't use sleep because I am not sure how long it'll take for the server to startup. So I need something like

Code:
while (true) {
if [tail -f jboss_log.txt | grep Started ] //meaning when it was found
then 
   break
fi
}
start the next command

obviously this doesn't work,

any hint on how I could write something like this?


Thanks in advance
