Thanks VERY much Perderabo.

Never used PERL before but quite impressed with your comment. I replaced the sleep 1" command with your perl line.

The script now "states" it is using 0.0% of the CPU resources which is great.

The final script (csh) I am now using is as follows:

#
set n = 0

while ( $n <= 10 )
if( -e ./hello) then
echo "Hello file is here"
rm hello
else
perl -e 'select(undef,undef,undef,.1)'
endif

end

taskstat

taskstat(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      taskstat(1M)

NAME

       taskstat - prints ASET tasks status

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/aset/util/taskstat [-d aset_dir]

DESCRIPTION

       taskstat  is  located  in  the /usr/aset/util directory. /usr/aset is the default operating directory of the Automated Security Enhancement
       Tool (ASET). An alternative working directory can be specified by the administrators through the aset -d command or the ASETDIR environment
       variable.  See aset(1M). Because  aset dispatches its tasks to run in the background, when it returns, these tasks may or may not have com-
       pleted. taskstat prints the status of the tasks, listing those that are completed and those that are still executing.

       The ASET reports, which are located in the /usr/aset/reports directory (see the	-d option), are not complete until all	the  tasks  finish
       executing.

OPTIONS

       -d aset_dir     Specify	the  working  directory for ASET. By default, this directory is /usr/aset. With this option, the reports directory
		       will be located under aset_dir.
