Uh, what?
Execute /bin/true, take its output if its output is non-null, continue.
Last I checked, /bin/true outputs nothing. :)
Maybe you wanted:
while true; do; ...; done
Or more commonly:
while :; do ... done
because the ":" command is true.
It works for me. That's the way I'd seen it done when I was learning bash. I believe the while checks the return value, not the output of the command.
