Great! Thanks! That looks very promising and should do the trick. I shall try that...
Many thanks again for your help!

Cheers
Stefan

So maybe that's the part I did not consider ... :-)

The people more experienced in shell scripting might help here. I
would go and start MarZone with and ampersand

http://bashitout.com/2013/05/18/Ampersands-on-the-command-line.html

and than proceed in while loop ..

But that is all wild guessing  ..
