Sequences with seq
I’m going to keep this one short since time I’ve had a serious lack of time recently. If you need to free up some time by putting repetitive commands into loops, you can use the command seq.
Basically, you can use any generic loop such as the while or for loop. Here are two examples:
for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo $i; done;
seq 1 10 | while read i; do echo $i; done;
These both count and echo from 1 to ten. Replace the echo $i; with whatever it is you want to do. You can use sleep, to sleep for a number of seconds, and any other logic you wish here.
