Looping a command more than once
Hi could someone help please,
The problem i have is that within a for loop in Unix scripting i want to loop a line seven times before it continues onto the next part of the script. I am struggling to come up with a way to get it to go round seven times. I was thinking of somehow using a counter, but i am not sure how yet. Can anybody else think of how i could make a specfic line loop the required amount of times.
