OK, first of all, you should have an if condition there and not a while. Running this script will give you an infinite number of "Apache is still running..." outputs because the script only checks for apache running at the beginning and not in every iteration of the while loop. If you do want to use while, run the ps command inside the while loop.
Secondly, sleep. Use the sleep command so that your script does not hog system resources by constant condition checking.
Since you are using bash, you could rewrite the script like this:
Sleep for longer though...
I am having a problem with awk when I run it with a loop. It works perfectly when I echo a single line from the commandline. For example:
echo 'MFG009 9153852832' | awk '$2 ~ /^0-9]$/{print $2}'
The Awk command above will print field 2 if field 2 matches 10 digits, but when I run the loop... (5 Replies)

while
while(n) Tcl Built-In Commands while(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
while - Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
SYNOPSIS
while test body
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The while command evaluates test as an expression (in the same way that expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must a
proper boolean value; if it is a true value then body is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter. Once body has been executed then
test is evaluated again, and the process repeats until eventually test evaluates to a false boolean value. Continue commands may be exe-
cuted inside body to terminate the current iteration of the loop, and break commands may be executed inside body to cause immediate termi-
nation of the while command. The while command always returns an empty string.
Note: test should almost always be enclosed in braces. If not, variable substitutions will be made before the while command starts execut-
ing, which means that variable changes made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression. This is likely to result in an
infinite loop. If test is enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the expression is evaluated (before each loop iter-
ation), so changes in the variables will be visible. For an example, try the following script with and without the braces around $x<10:
set x 0
while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}
