[SOLVED] Program error

[firenice03]

Cool - Might have to look at that one too..

Maybe there can be a $DELAY and a new line of $DELAY2 where 2 has a longer duration and then edit the sleep delay on line 28 to $DELAY2 , it might work, to have two different durations allowing for the more text to read on that option,  I'll try it tomorrow, as I am tired for code now.

You should be able to as long as the variable is expressed... example
DELAY1=2
DELAY2=5
Then call out each specifically within the code..  ***Looks like you tried and it worked!!


You could also use sleep, which when scripting directly from the command line works well..
Example - but substitute in any commands, I may use a variant to watch interfaces or connected HBA cards where I would repeatedly re-run a command.

Code:

while true
do date
echo " "
sleep 3
done

This will display the Date and a blank line every 3 seconds

Keep it up!!!  ;D ;D
