NEED HELP PLZ! While Loop script needed!

PLZ Help us. I need to write a "while loop" script in borne shell to go into the /tmp directory every second and update me with the size of every file in the temp directory. My boss sprung this on me today and I have to have the script done by tomorrow. I can't loose my job, cause my wife and I just found out we are having a baby and this is all we have. Someone please help us. The script is going to be run on Linux.

Thanks!
Scooby

We have some rules here. You certainly violated 3 and 10 and I tend to suspect you are violating 6 as well. I will close this thread.
