while(1) fish while(1)
NAME
while - perform a command multiple times
Synopsis
while CONDITION; COMMANDS...; end
Description
The while builtin causes fish to continually execute CONDITION and
execute COMMANDS as long as CONDITION returned with status 0. If
CONDITION is false on the first time, COMMANDS will not be executed at
all. Hints: use begin; ...; end for complex conditions; more complex
control can be achieved with while true containing a break.
Example
while test -f foo.txt; echo file exists; sleep 10; end
causes fish to print the line 'file exists' at 10 second intervals as
long as the file foo.txt exists.
