I need to run a program in the background . I know that using '&' after a command runs the command in the background. In the give program:-
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo amt of time delay nsec
read nano
echo amt of time delay in sec
read sec
echo no.of times
read i
while [ $i -ne 0 ]
do
./nanosleep $sec $nano
./schello
i=$[i-1]
done
I have a few data that i get from the user. Is there a way I can run the program in background? i.e, while calling the program can i also specify the data required(like nano, sec,i) as arguments or through some other way?
