Script would be good for this kind of thing, I think. Dig how similar this windows scripting host script is to your pseudocode:

' --------------------------------------------

Dim FSO
Const WatchForFile = "c:\pretend.txt"
Const CopyFileTo = "c:\copied.txt"

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Do While True

      If FSO.FileExists(WatchForFile) Then
         WScript.Echo "Found " & WatchForFile & "!  Copying..."
         Call FSO.CopyFile(WatchForFile, CopyFileTo)
         Exit Do
      Else
         WScript.Echo "Still no " & WatchForFile & "--going to sleep for 10
seconds..."
         WScript.Sleep 10000
      End If

   Loop
   Set FSO = Nothing
   WScript.Echo "Finished running " & WScript.ScriptFullName

' --------------------------------------------

Save that off to a text file w/extension .vbs & execute it at the command line by typing

cscript <<filename>>.vbs.

There's documentation for the windows scripting host at http://www.microsoft.com/scripting.

Hi All

Does anyone have script(DOS batch file or Unix Shell) to do the following stuff?

loop
if exist FILE_NAME

      begin
            do something;
            copy files to remote machine,etc...
            EXIT;
      end;

end loop;

Thanks
Sami
