Instead of polling the server, could you have it send a mail message to
a special address when starting SSH? If you're running the while-loop
on your workstation, set up an extension address like
lina-wall@your.workstation.com
which forwards incoming mail from the SSH server to /usr/bin/wall.
If you use Postfix, see the http://www.postfix.org/local.8.html sections
on ADDRESS EXTENSION and EXTERNAL COMMAND DELIVERY.
