stop for loop

[gregorko]

I think in Bourne shell the loop for i in {1..10} is not working. At least for me it only goes through once and causes the stop to not wait long enough. Other scripts I looked at tend to use other type of loops.

Same problem here. It's got #!/bin/sh at the top of the script but init v or whatever is running it using bash. Any idea what type of loop we should use instead?

I replaced line 47 to line 57 with:

kill `get_pid`
i=0
while is_running; do
  if [ $i = '60' ]; then
    break;
  else
    echo -n "."
    i=$(($i+1))
    sleep 1
  fi
done
echo

Also I raised the max waiting time to 60 seconds

hehe, I did something similar

(and then I call kill -9 if it still doesn't die)

It is Bourne shell, so I used for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 instead of for i in {1..10}
