I find it's better to write "infinite" loops in the shell such that they terminate when the command of interest fails: while xscreensaver-command -next; do sleep 3 ps lax >/var/tmp/lastscreesaverhack sleep 57 done Of course, if the xscreensaver command never actually fails, this makes no difference. In general, though, I eschew "while true" and "while :". -- G. Branden Robinson | No executive devotes much effort to Debian GNU/Linux | proving himself wrong. branden@debian.org | -- Laurence J.
