run a script in the background? save the next script as clock.sh

#!/bin/bash
while true ; do
    date
    sleep 60
done

Open in new window


chmod 755 clock.sh
and run it before running  the tail command with
clock.sh &

Open in new window

While many of these comments will help over a remote connection I am still not sure if the OP was working remotely or over a connected display... The wording was vague and confusing...
