The following seems to do what you want:
This script terminates when a line containing just EOF is added to your log file.
I use the Korn shell most of the time; this was tested with both ksh and bash. It should work with any POSIX conforming shell.
The kill 0 sends a SIGTERM signal to every process in the current process group (i.e., the shell running the while loop and the tail, so the tail will terminate without waiting for another line to be written to your log file after the EOF line is read).

cachefslog(1M)cachefslog(1M)NAME
cachefslog - Cache File System logging
SYNOPSIS
logfile| cachefs_mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The command is used to enable or disable logging for a cachefs_mount_point. When the command is used without any options, it displays the
logfile. The logfile contains information on the operation performed on a cachefs_mount_point and statistics used by to get the working
set size of cache directory. The specified logfile will contain information for all the CacheFS mount points using the same cache direc-
tory. A logfile and a cache directory have a 1-to-1 mapping; that is, even if a cache directory is removed and recreated with the same
name, the logfile used in the previous instance of the cache directory cannot be reused with the new cache directory.
Enabling logging may have performance impact, even if minimal, on the operations for all the CacheFS mount points using the same cache
directory. The command is mainly used for debugging purposes.
Options
The following options are supported. You must be a superuser to use the and options.
