Shell Programming and Scripting

I want to control the speed of execution of a script, There are 1000 lines in script, i want 100 lines to be executed in 10 seconds and from 11th second execution from 101 line should start, again so on. Please help me in creating the script.

Thanks,
cmaniar

Code:

#!/bin/bash
........... line 1
sleep 10
......... line 101
sleep 10
......... line 201

unless your code is really horrible, or there are protracted loops, sleep 10 works fine because there is only a fraction of a second difference. Assuming +/- .1 seconds does not matter.

Otherwise you will need the granularity of timers like getitimer() which you can access only through a C wrapper.

What exactly are you trying to do? Not how you think you ought to do it. For example do you know about nice?
