You're never going to get it exactly 50.00000000000000 seconds long. Anything you do could throw it off just slightly. Make your threshold slightly higher than 50 if you want all the emails sent.
Also, you can put the query in the background before the loop, and wait for it after, so things don't wait for each other needlessly.
I am trying to get the follow script to run in the background on the 'fly'. I can launch it via cron and it will run in the background. BUT when I launch it from the command line it will run in the foreground. I figure it has to do with the while loop I have, but I have no clue how I can run the... (8 Replies)

wait
wait(1) General Commands Manual wait(1)NAME
wait - await process completion
SYNOPSIS
[pid]
DESCRIPTION
If no argument is specified, waits until all processes (started with of the current shell have completed, and reports on abnormal termina-
tions. If a numeric argument pid is given and is the process ID of a background process, waits until that process has completed. Other-
wise, if pid is not a background process, exits without waiting for any processes to complete.
Because the system call must be executed in the parent process, the shell itself executes without creating a new process (see wait(2)).
Command-Line Arguments
supports the following command line arguments:
The unsigned decimal integer process
ID of a command, whose termination is to wait for.
WARNINGS
Some processes in a 2-or-more-stage pipeline may not be children of the shell, and thus cannot be waited for.
