Unix shell scripting help

[rgwalt]

I need some help with some Unix shell scripting. I'm trying to write a simple shell script that will run a program multiple times. The pseudo code will look something like this:

do while count < limit
execute program nd_eqn
wait for nd_eqn to finish and terminate
increment count
End do

Is this possible with a shell script? If so, could someone give me a hand? I would appreciate it.

Yeah, you could do it.

for example in C shell some of loop control.

while (express)
command(s)
end

or

foreach stuff (list)
command(s)
end

it also has if/else if/else/endif for branch control.

Thanks for the reply. I *think* I got it working. I'm letting my code run right now. Hopefully it solves the problem I'm having with a memory leak.
