actually, the simplest way to do this is:

	while read rpm
	do
		...
	done < /tmp/file

[where you put the do clause makes no difference -- it's just style.]

the parens dave used force the whole thing to be done in a subshell -- a
new process.  if you're doing this once a day, it makes little
difference.  but if you're going to be running this piece of code a
bunch, then extra processes may make a significant difference over time.
