Thread: Running A Loop for 6 minnutes (360 Seconds)

i need to print the same sentence for 6 minutes ..
hopefully i think it can be done by a loop i tried below code but no success.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
SECONDS=0
while [[ SECONDS -lt 360 ]] ; do
 echo "Still Running"
done

please help me to sort this out.
Thanks & Regards.

Increase SECONDS by 1 and sleep for 1 second.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
 SECONDS=0
 while [ $SECONDS -lt 360 ] ; do
 echo "Still Running"
 SECONDS=`expr $SECONDS + 1`
 sleep 1
done

hi,

you need to increment the variable (which name should be lowercase: uppercase variable names are for environmental variables, not yours)

Code:

a=0
a=$(( a + 1 ))
echo $a
1

[[ is not sh/posix; adapt your shebang, or your code: know what shell you want to run.

Great !!!

Thats working perfectly.

thanks for the valuable help ...
