Sending an event from another bash shell
I have two BASH shells and would like to send data from one to the other. To achieve this, I have thought the following:
1) Shell #1 runs a script in order to create the file "output.out" with the data.
2) Meanwhile Shell #2 is waiting for "output.out" is created for starting with a second script later.

My question is: when "output.out" is created, how can I send an event to Shell #2 so it can start with the second script?

I tried this:
While Shell #1 is running, Shell #2 is executing this script:
Code:
while [ ! -e output.out ]; do sleep 0.1; done
# Second script starts here...

But since I'm doing a heavy simulation, I cannot use this solution! What I need is to send an event to Shell #2...

Any help will be really appreciated!
