Script to run non-stop

Hi All,

I am on a Solaris OS and i have come up with a csh script named " mycshscript " which will grab data from a datalog file & format the grabbed data & upload formated version to web server. I would want to have this script to run non-stop so that the latest can be captured since data is always appending to the datalog file. Below is a skeleton of my script using a while loop to loop non-stop.

My question is that
1) Does closing my command console stop the running of my script?
2) If i want to stop my script from running, how am i able to do it in a clean manner?


Code:
#!/bin/csh

set num = 1

while ($num == 1)

......
.......

end

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions. If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl. Otherwise the command fails with return code 2. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
chkconfig(8), ntsysv(8), systemd(1), systemctl(8), systemd.service(5) Jan 2006 service(8)
