Hi, I'm not a unix programmer so I don't know much.
I want to write a little batch program straight off the command line.
For instance, I want to
ls
sleep 3
and have it loop. What do I type at the sh command line to do this?
Thanks,
Ray

while [ true ]

done
Will loop endlessly running any command between 'do' and 'done'.
