AFAIK
   echo '.\c'
"works" on any Un*x, as does
  echo -n .
in the sense that something will be printed.

However some OSes (e.g. HP-UX) use the first format to suppress the
EOL, most use the second format. I don't know how to differentiate
them (other than adding a test before the loop)

Is it important that the output file is updated every second?

+) printing the funny dots was just something I ommited to delete - I 
want to make a verification to ensure that the script was executed 
successfully by ensure that the file exists and is not empty
+) would the statement would work on FreeBSD in general?

But that does not work on e.g. FreeBSD.

Indeed the code will now just create an ever-larger file, not print
... to the screen
