Repeat is not a standard command. However, it is trivial to implement.

Put this in a file called repeat, make it executable and put it in a directory in your PATH:

Once you've done that, you have a repeat command.

hey Johnson
thanks for helping
but sorry to say that your script does not work fine.

What does "does not work fine" mean?

What does happen? What's wrong with it?

What was the exact script you used? How did you execute it?

first
1) cat repeat
2)added #!/bin/sh at first line(am not sure if this is needed)
even without it ,, it does not work..
2) ctrl + x , yes
3) chmod 777 repeat
4) ./repeat echo hi
5) repeat echo hi
nothing happens
u still get the prompt

What is the output of cat repeat?

You need to run it with a standard shell. On most systems, that is
/bin/sh, but on some it is elsewhere (e.g. Solaris is /usr/xpg4/bin/sh).

What's that for?

Use chmod 755. You should never make files world writable.

That should be:

Code:

repeat 3 echo Hi
