How to check if a new line has been added to a file?

Ok your code works but its not exatly what I'm lookin for.. What the script to continuously look in the file and email out when a new line has been found.. the script will then email out the first word of the new line

I've tried to to it this way but no luck
Code:
OUTPATH=/home/out
PARMFILE=$OUTPATH/jobcount_test.txt
LOG=$OUTPATH/job_count_monthlymail_log.txt
HLOG=$OUTPATH/job_count_monthlymail_hlog.txt
#
echo " started at $(date)" > $LOG
#
integer count=0
while [[ $count < 2 ]]
do
   body_msg=`tail -1 $PARMFILE`
   mailx -s "$body_msg" jarrathy@notes < $body_msg
   ((count = count +1))

done
##
echo " ended at $(date)" >> $LOG
cat $LOG >> $HLOG

I was updating the jobcount_test.txt and was hoping when i had two lines in there the job would stop but it didn't.. can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

RarArchive::getEntries - Get full list of entries from the RAR archive

       Object oriented style (method):

SYNOPSIS
public array RarArchive::getEntries (void ) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style: array rar_list (RarArchive $rarfile) Get entries list (files and directories) from the RAR archive. Note If the archive has entries with the same name, this method, together with RarArchive foreach iteration and array-like access with numeric indexes, are the only ones to access all the entries (i.e., RarArchive::getEntry and the rar:// wrapper are insufficient). PARAMETERS
o $rarfile - A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open(3). RETURN VALUES
rar_list(3) returns array of RarEntry objects or FALSE on failure. CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 3.0.0 | | | | | | | Support for RAR archives with repeated entry | | | names is no longer defective. | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php $rar_arch = RarArchive::open('solid.rar'); if ($rar_arch === FALSE) die("Could not open RAR archive."); $rar_entries = $rar_arch->getEntries(); if ($rar_entries === FALSE) die("Could retrieve entries."); echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries. "; foreach ($rar_entries as $e) { echo $e; echo " "; } $rar_arch->close(); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Found 2 entries. RarEntry for file "tese.txt" (23b93a7a) RarEntry for file "unrardll.txt" (2ed64b6e) Example #2 Procedural style <?php $rar_arch = rar_open('solid.rar'); if ($rar_arch === FALSE) die("Could not open RAR archive."); $rar_entries = rar_list($rar_arch); if ($rar_entries === FALSE) die("Could retrieve entries."); echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries. "; foreach ($rar_entries as $e) { echo $e; echo " "; } rar_close($rar_arch); ?> SEE ALSO
