I don't know which shell you want to use; But if using 'ksh' and you always want to see the end of the file that was last modified you should be able to use something like this:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
while true
  do
    newdate=`date '+%Y%m%d'`
    for x in `ls -tr /usr/home/ABCD/atimo/log/${newdate}/option/OP2/GatewayTransaction.*`
    do
      file=`echo ${x}`
    done
    tail -f $file
  sleep 5
  done
