I would have thought that it would be much simpler to create a simple .bat/.cmd file

:redo
@notepad & goto redo

Just substitute your program path/name for notepad.

i would have thought that it would be worthwhile to investigate why the tail script dies. had a situation at work recently where my scripts only processed half the file and we didn't notice until later. it took a bit of head scratching to find that the file being processed had an eof character in it. this may not be the answer but, tail will exit if it sees eof in input stream.
