switchback(){
while true
do
players=$(cat $serverpath/$port//count.txt);
sleep 5;
if (( $players < 10 )); then
$(loadpubserveripip)
break
fi
done
}
In the above function how can I do it like the if condition should be true for consecutive 5 times and then only it does the further operation.
Just add a counter variable equal to 5. Decrement by 1 if condition is true, reset to 5 if false, break if count=0. The most trivial answer based on your code:
switchback(){
count=5
while true
do
players=$(cat $serverpath/$port//count.txt);
if (( $players < 10 ));then
if ! ((--count)); then
$(loadpubserveripip)
break
fi
else
count=5
fi
sleep 5
done
}
Few notes:
sleep 5 to the bottom of the loop, to avoid unnecessary sleep at the last loop.break to after the loop, since the loop will only break the 5th time $players is less than 10.$(loadpubserveripip) line, the result of loadpubserveripip should be a valid shell command for it to work.
