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
