Help with scripting please

Folks;
i have a tool to check on some files, this tool runs using command line. when we run the tool on any file, it suppose to give you the file information to see if the file was digested into the system.
for example: if i have a file called "test.gz", when i run the tool which called "chktool" i do it like this:

# /opt/dev/chktool -getstat /home/test.gz

i normally get results looks like this:
Type F
Path /home/test.gz
Handle F431B8828E6D04
Mode 0766
UID 60000
GID 65534
Size 11706980
NAME test.gz
STAT CHEK
UID B0514B7A-D20E

then when the file is digested, and i run the same tool i got this result below (note the STAT changed from CHEK to ONLN)

Type F
Path /home/test.gz
Handle F431B8828E6D04
Mode 0766
UID 60000
GID 65534
Size 11706980
NAME test.gz
STAT ONLN
UID B0514B7A-D20E

I'm looking to write a script to capture the time when starting to ingest the file then keep running the tool until the status changes from CHEK to ONLN, once it's ONLN then check the time so i can see how long it took for this file to go from CHEK to ONLN.

Thanks in advance
