Title
Body
I have the following. A Java process writing logs to the stdout A shell script starting the Java process Another shell script which executes the previous one and redirects the log I check the log file with the tail -f command for the success message. Even if I have exit 0 in the code I cannot end the tail -f process. Which doesn't let my script to finish. Is there any other way of doing this in Bash? The code looks like the following. function startServer() { touch logfile startJavaprocess > logfile & tail -f logfile | while read line do if echo $line | grep -q 'Started'; then echo 'Server Started' exit 0 fi done }
