Automation of script!

[Rvir]

I've to write a script which has to run as soon as a log file is generated from another script. Some body can tell me how do i proceed or is there any function with in unix which can help me do this.

it can sit and wait for it. Something like

#!/bin/ksh
while ! [ -f /path/to/logfile ]
do
  sleep 60
done
#now the logfile exists
process_logfile

Ceci n'est pas une signature
