shell doubt of for

[knzzz]

Hi Team,

I wrote a shell script in which it should repeat a process untill it satisfies the condition using the for loop i wrote the script, my question how can i make sure the process is repeating till the conditions are met.

Throw an echo or print of your test value into the loop to see it changing as it runs?

A Google for bash scripts returned this, and many others

I would use a while script:

Code: Select all

while true
do
    echo test 
done

Or an 'until':

Code: Select all

until [ "$VARIABLE1" -lt "1" ]
do
     echo test
done
