AIX how to read the file in function again and again
dear friends

I have a wrote a shell script which works like this.
1.) a command is executed and the log is moved in the file.
2.) this file is copied in to the other file.
3.) used a grep command to find a particular word.
4.) if a particular word is there then the script will go to next step else it will sleep for 20 seconds.
5.) the source file which is now appended after sleep of 20 seconds will be copied the other file.
6.) the updated other file is read a particluar word is searched again.

the script is as shown below.

Code:
searchstring()
{
if [ `echo $req1 | grep -c "SUCCESS" ` -gt 0 ]
then
  echo "Sleep 10"
else
  echo "sleep 50"
  sleep 50
  cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
  searchstring
fi
}
cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
req1=`grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt`
#echo $req1
searchstring

now after executing this sheel script the copied file is showing the word that i want but it is executing else part and the same step is getting repeated.

i hope you people will help me.

gtkdoc-mktmpl

gtkdoc-mktmpl(1)					      General Commands Manual						  gtkdoc-mktmpl(1)

NAME

       gtkdoc-mktmpl --  GTK DocBook documentation generator.

SYNOPSIS

       gtkdoc-mktmpl [ See below ]

DESCRIPTION

       gtkdoc-mktmpl This creates or updates the template files which contain the manually-edited documentation. (A template is a simple text form
       which is filled in with the description of a function, macro, enum, or struct.  For functions  and  macros  it  also  contains  fields  for
       describing the parameters.)

       This script reads in the existing templates, found in tmpl/*.sgml, moves these files to tmpl/*.sgml.bak, and then recreates the .sgml files
       according to the structure given in the file MODULE-sections.txt.

       Any new templates added, or new function parameters, are marked with FIXME so you can do a grep to see which parts need updating.

       Any templates which are no longer used (i.e. they are remove from MODULE-sections.txt) are placed in the  file  tmpl/MODULE-unused.txt.	If
       they are included again later they are automatically copied back into position.	If you are certain that these templates will never be used
       again you can delete them from MODULE-unused.txt.

       Any parameters to functions which are no longer used are separated from the rest of the parameters with the line <!-- # Unused Parameters #
       -->.  It  may  be  that	the parameter name has just been changed, in which case you can copy the description to the parameter with the new
       name. You can delete the unused parameter descriptions when no longer needed.

EXAMPLE

       See /usr/share/doc/gtk-doc-tools/examples, for a makefile.am and a configure.in example file.
