Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried droping 1 with the parenthesis , braces and brackets but then it is giving the following error:-
hyper20:~ 15> while true
while: Expression Syntax.
hyper20:~ 16> while false
while: Expression Syntax.
hyper20:~ 17>
My intended execution of steps are:-
while [1]
do
ps -eaf | grep rm
sleep 10
done
But then this is not working when I execute it from the command prompt
Could you please help me in this ?
Thanks.
