My script doesn't quite work. Could someone tell me what I've done wrong?
The problem is that it displays the file as soon as it has a nonzero
length. I would like the script to wait until the file is 95 bytes long.
My script:
-----
until test -s filename
do
sleep 5s
done
cat filename
-----
Many thanks to those of you who have responded to my past questions and
any who respond to this question.

P.S. Is there such a thing as a scripting how-to? If so, I missed it.
Either way, it would be great to know where I can read about it, either
from a how-to or something else. It might even save me the embarrassment
of asking an incredibly obvious question.
