CPU & Memory Help with school homework

ok its a simple script, but i can't get it to run right. i'm totally lost. can anyone help me with this.

heres the question........create a shell script called minute.bash that starts the command
labs/bash/count.sh and lets it run for 1 minute and then stops it.

count.sh is a simple counting program that outputs 1,2,3,4,5,6 up to 10 and starts over.

this is what i'm typing in Vi

#!/bin/bash

#uses count.sh and lets it run for one minute.
#written by Adam Jones



/labs/bash/count.sh

sleep 60;

done


thats what i'm typing. the program just keeps on counting and never stops. if i put sleep above the count.sh it doesn't start for 1 minute. any help would be awesome. thankssss in advance.
