Of course it will wait. A script always waits till a command exits.
I see. Thanks (silly me).
In your init.d script you need launch the above script (call it
loopmyprogram) in the usual manner, in the background.
Is there a more recommended "usual manner" to launch a script in the
background than using "&" (which I did not test with scripts yet, just with
applications)
using "&" is the recommended manner.
Whether you launch a script or an actual program is entirely irrelevant.
Michael.
