not exit out of the loop.. basic mechanic of the program should be,
for N in a b c d e f g h i j k
do
for X in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
do
output=$(someprogram $X@$N)
if [ $output -eq whatever ] ; then
echo "$X@$N is $output"
else
echo "$X@$N is NOT whatever"
fi
done
done
Problem is, this someprogram that I am running so that it will either spit out
1)whatever OR 2)some other response but in order to quit from that program, you need to do control c
a)where do I put control c statement in the script
b)and more importantly, HOW do I send control c from shell script..
