Hi all,

I've searched the site for a suitable while loop command, but couldn't find one to suit that I can understand.
Please can someone help me out here, I'm sure it's simple for someone out there, I'm not familiar with the while loop and so cannot interpret what I'm reading in the many scripts I've come across.

This is what I've got so far, but do not want it to repeat if a new message is not detected or is the same, only unique one's needed:

Code:

while true
do
        cat /var/adm/messages | grep RTD-1-ADDR_FLAP | tail -1
sleep 10
done

Output at the moment, but need it to not repeat, but to be unique:
