The idiomatic way to code an endless loop is simply while true although you also see the obscure while : which avoids an external process (even though true is often a shell built-in in modern shells).
great, this sort of things is what i was expecting when i posted here
i didn't used true, because i had the idea that it doesn't work (i might have got that form an old aix/tru64 at work)
i will google for more info on ":"

my main problem is how to get it, or where to get that info.

i have the vague idea that i could use awk to avoid head | tail | cut , but i dont know how
could you give me some directions ?
specially to a good example
