Statistical this will be a problem once in a while. The chance for it  
to happen in one hour is about 1/3 I think.

Hmm, make sure that the script writes the /var/log/omsa/vdisk file  
atomic. That is, write to a temp file first and then use mv /tmp/ 
vdisk.tmp /var/log/omsa/vdisk. That way the simultaneously read/write  
problem should go away.
