I am trying to create a script that will run continuously until the out of a command reaches a specific point. I have a command called showOutput and all it does it output the progress of running job, i want to create a script or a command that will process this output and do something else once it sees the job has gotten to a specific point. What I have come up with so far is something like this:
#this will give me only the 1 specific line i am waiting to see showOutput | grep "condition" #if i use this in an if statement or a loop like this: until [ $( showOutput | grep "condition" ) ] do sleep(60); done #run other command here but i think because showOutput does not have an eof things dont work right if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated -Stoyan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Waiting-for-outpu-tp17768080p17768080.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
