while : ; do
echo count = $count
((count=count+1))
read -t 10 && break
done
echo exited while loop
exit 0
This uses the -t option to the read command in bash. The "count" is just to have something that changes to display with each iteration. If the user presses return within 10 seconds, the read succeeds, otherwise it fails. (If it succeeds, we just discard the data that was read since no variable is used with the read.) -t works with bash, but most versions of ksh do not have it.
i wrote a while script as part of a huge program. this script, once picked, begins to output data to the person using it. pretty easy, as the person doesn't have to keep typing commands to get the output that the while loop automatically throws out.
now, the thing is, while this while-script... (3 Replies)

tping
TPING(1) LAM COMMANDS TPING(1)NAME
tping - Send echo messages to LAM nodes.
SYNOPSIS
tping [-hv] [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] nodes
OPTIONS -h Print the command help menu.
-v Turn OFF verbose mode.
-c count Send count messages.
-d delay Delay delay seconds between each message.
-l length Each message is length bytes long.
DESCRIPTION
The tping command sends messages to, and collects replies from, a list of nodes, via the LAM echo server. It is similar to the UNIX
ping(8) command, and is used as a quick diagnosis of the LAM network.
Unless options are specified, tping sends a 1 byte message an infinite number of times, displaying the roundtrip time of each message as it
completes, with a delay of 1 second between roundtrips. After the loop is broken (with keyboard interrupt, eg: ^C), tping prints statis-
tics about all roundtrip messages.
EXAMPLES
tping h
Echo messages to the local node.
tping -v n7 -l 1000 -c 10
Echo 1000 byte messages to node 7. Stay silent while working. Stop after 10 roundtrips and report statistics.
BUGS
There is no built-in timeout and tping will wait forever to receive an echo. If no echo is received, due to a dead link or node, tping
hangs. Stop the process with a keyboard suspend signal (eg: ^Z) and terminate LAM with lamhalt(1) or lamwipe(1) (although the use of
lamwipe(1) is deprecated).
