Linux command to run command MULTIPLE TIMES

[randalee]

I have a little bash script that will run NSLOOKUPS on a DNS server I have. What I would like to do is be able to run this script OVER and OVER and OVER as fast as possible.

Just trying to beat up my DNS server a bit. I know there is a way to do this, but anyone know?

I'm currently doing ./check and then waiting for it to finish, then doing ./check again (check is my script)...

ummm
why dont you have the script call itself from within itself, but as a background job?

!/bin/bash
NSlookup
./script.sh&

PERFECT! Why didn't I think of that! That's why you guys rule... Running like a mad dog now!

For future reference you can use a while loop.

#!/bin/bash
while true; do
nslookup
done
