Infinite while loop script shows more than one process
Hi,
I have a script which triggers an infinite loop.
Code:
#!bin/bash
trig=`ls /home/trig.tch |wc -l`
function callj {
some commands...
 
}
 
while [ $trig -ne 0 ]
do
callj &
done

The number of process after doing a ps -ef |grep Mon.sh returns
processes even after the script is killed by deleting the trigger file.

Why could this be happening.?

Thanks,
Chetan.C

SYNTAX

       int glutLayerGet(GLenum info);

ARGUMENTS

       info	 Name of device information to retrieve.

       GLUT_OVERLAY_POSSIBLE
	       Whether an overlay could be established for the current window given the current initial display mode. If false, glutEstablishOver-
