Thanks a lot peterro! Definitely this is the best and clear way to do it! But now I have another question... what to do if I don't want to display the file content on the shell?

Many thanks in advance!

PS: Thanks pludi for your reply!... sorry for the ignorance (as you can see, I'm a beginner in the unix universe)... you say: "run an infinite loop that just idles along"... if I do an infinite loop, it will force the processor, isn't it?

Thanks in advance!
