Main script triggers second and it has to run at specific interval
Hi Friends,
I am newbie to shell programming and I am stuck trying to accomplish following task.We use Bamboo CI which executes script1 passing parameters. This Main script executes script2 as backend process as part of one of it statements. Task of script2 is to essentially check whether a particular site is up and running, once it is up has to execute sequence of steps.
I implemented this using

script2.sh:
curl url -o test.page
count = cat test.page | grep copyrights |wc -l
if (count -gt 0); then
execute statements.
else
script2.sh $args & sleep 10

Now the problem is , even though I am calling it after 10 secs. It does not seem to execute.

Can someone direct me please?

Thanks in advance
Aditya

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
