Dana,
How about trying a cron job or looking in to your inittab man pages?
I personally have never wanted to make an infinite loop, however I have made my share on accident.
I am sure this type of logic will do the trick but it might just run away and spawn so many jobs that you have no resources or UNIDATA Lic for your users.
LOOP
PHANTOM {WORK HERE program or PA etc}
REPEAT
# No conditional
# I personally would be very careful with this. One miss step here and you might just regret this later.
A better way would likely be researching making the process a daemon... (from my AIX Man pages)
Files Reference

inittab File
Purpose
Controls the initialization process.
Description
The /etc/inittab file supplies the script to the init command's role as a
general process dispatcher. The process that constitutes the majority of the
init command's process dispatching activities is the /etc/getty line process,
which initiates individual terminal lines. Other processes typically dispatched
by the init command are daemons and the shell.

Greetings,
Looking for some advice with Phantoms (seems to be a theme lately). I have a
udt program that I want to have always running (infinite loop). I want to
start this as a background process using PHANTOM. Pretty straight forward so
far. How can I do this so the process keeps running even after I log out the
process that started it?

Thanks for any help
