split an action in groups

Hi all,

I need some help with a script I would like to amend.Let's say it's a simple script like the one below

Code:
controls=`grep line /etc/file |grep -v "^#"| awk -F":" '{print $4}'`
for cc in $controls
do
        echo $cc
        sleep 2
done

cc variable holds a list of 40 numbers. What I would like to do is for every five cc's to do an echo and then sleep for 2 seconds, then continue to the next five. Can anyone help me out with that please?

Thanks in advance

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
