Question How to have my ksh script pause, until something appears in the logs.?

All,

Is there some way to have my KSH script pause, until the word "DONE!" appears in the logfile /logs/log.txt?

Difficulty: The word "DONE!" may already be present in logs from the past. So I anticipate tail -0f may (somehow?) need to be done in the background, instead of grepping in a loop?

Thanks so much,
CG
