I have a shell script, originally created for Mac OS X. that waits for an 
external drive to be mounted (by testing an “ls” of the volume’s root directory 
for success) then runs an “rsync”
 command. How do I get the script to be run repeatedly until successful exit 
under Cygwin?

Here is the unmodified Mac OS version of the script:

#!/bin/bash
if ls /Volumes/Shared >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
then
        rsync -avz --compress-level=9 --delete-during --partial --exclude 
'cache/' aleph.gutenberg.org::gutenberg /Volumes/Shared/Project-Gutenberg
        exit 0
else
        exit 1
fi
