yes that sounds like what i need. although how to i make so that the program displays the output, cos i can imagine if i add a statement asking "are you finished" i'll probably get stuck in that loop. or would the results be displayed after i the monitoring was finished, the way it runs now is live so as the file is altered, the terminal is updated.

on the "*" part of your post, im not too familiar with shell scripts, and didnt know you could do it another way.

any more help would be incredible
