i dont think that script with an eternal loop is the best ideia. If u want keep this script running for a long time ( even when ur user is loged out, u will need a screen desatached [ screen ^a ^d]). My advice will be that u make this script and set a rule at ur crontab for every min:
#crontab -e (put this line if u need taht script to run every min) * * * * * ./path/script hope that helps u, 2009/3/1 Olaf Reitmaier Veracierta <ola...@gmail.com> > while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then > <PUT HERE YOUR COMMAND> > sleep 60 > done > > Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. wrote: > >> On Thursday 26 February 2009 18:35:01 Mike Castle wrote: >> >>> On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Michael Pobega <pob...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 04:54:28PM -0500, Long Wind wrote: >>>> >>>>> I want a script. >>>>> The script run a command, wait one minute, >>>>> then run the command again, wait one minute again >>>>> ... again and again ... >>>>> >>>> Sounds like a job for Cron! >>>> >>> It depends on how long the job takes, and what the requirements are. >>> >>> They did seem to imply they want to wait 60 seconds between the end of >>> one run to the start of the next one, as opposed to running every 60 >>> seconds regardless. >>> >> >> The OP says they want fixed-delay.
