Looping in linux Closed

Question

Hello,
      I am seeing an issue while creating the loop in linux. The script needs to verify the file in one location. if it's present then the process should be wait, if it's not present in the location, the process can start.. Could you please let me know about this issue? My observations are given below, 

I tried, this

 if [ -f $FILE ]; then
       sleep 100
  fi
echo "process"

  From my obervation, want to wait till to delete the file by my process.

Thanks

Hi,

Try this:

while true
do
if [ -f "$FILE" ]
then
echo "$FILE is still alive"
sleep 100
continue
else break
fi
done
echo "$FILE is dead, process..."
