hi,

i got cygwin and used it for along time, i normally rely on batch files but i want to create a ".sh" script that just loops a perl program , example below if it was as easy as a batch file.


:loop
perl prog.pl
goto loop


can anybody help..... i have googled for it but comes up with allsorts wat i dont want.

you don't seem like a beginer to me

#!/bin/sh

while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
./program
done

Have fun.

make sure to check out some of the other shells... like csh, ksh, bash, etc...

here is a nice page on shells and explains a lot... a good short read IMO.
