Try this:

Code:

#! /usr/bin/ksh
while : ; do
         command1
         command2
         if [ something ] ; then
               continue
         fi
         another command
         break
done
maybe another command
or two
exit 0

The code has been put into an infinite loop. The "continue" statement terminates the current pass through the loop and starts another pass. This is how to restart the code inside the loop. The "break" statement terminates the loop.
