That's why i wrote something like, it doesn't write after every minute, for that there is a small script which uses prstat.
Presently i am somewhere else thats why i was unable to give you the code.

Further i am unable to understand the meaning of your second post.
Please clarify.

You totally misunderstood me, what you are talking about is perfeclty ok.

But when i do a Cat, the background process which was writing to that file stopped. ( I found out this by doing a ps -ef | grep name_of_bak_ground )

It showed stopped, whats this stopped and it never resumed.
I thought to do a fuser, so when the process is not writing then i should Cat the file, but on using fuser the same thing happened.
My backgournd process stopped again. Why?

I can;t do a tail because i need the whole file, so what should i do now.
