Subject: stupid bash tricks (how to loop on the command line)
To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx
Okay, I saw a neat trick at work the other day. A coworker
somehow got
the shell to do looping without creating a file. I believe
he was using
csh to do so and I was wondering if I could do the same thing in
bash.
Basically I would like to be able to do a while loop to execute
a df
command.
Any ideas?
almost any shell command sequence can be executed on the command line... consider the following..
while true; do df; sleep 3; done;
just a matter of separating the command elements with ;'s

Actually, if you just want to loop some command, you can use the
command watch as well.
