You have two options for getting updated data:
1) file monitoring: the program uses the operating system's file change 
notification mechanism to know when the file has been changed by another 
program

2) interval checking: the program reloads the file regularily in a 
configurable time interval.

I personally use (1) for my /var/spool/$user mail file because it doesn't get 
updated very often so regular reloads would just be a waste of resources.

Cheers,
Kevin
