Time condition loop in shell

Question

I have just started learning shell script recently, so I don\'t know much about it.

I am trying to find example of time based while loop but not having any luck.

Answer 1

You can use the loop command, available here, like so:

$ loop './do_thing.sh' --for-duration 1h --every 5s

Which will do the your thing every five seconds for one hour.
