I need to repeat this command on a configurable interval:
igal -a -r -U -w 6
I tried this:
#!/bin/bash
igal -a -r -U -w 6
sleep 30
Just a guess that it MIGHT work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

THANK YOU!
does the integer of 30 ALWAYS mean 30 seconds?

Seconds is the default, yes.
man sleep

you should also be able to use 'watch' instead
like
watch igal -a -r -U -w 6
or if you want the 30 sec interval
watch -n 30 igal -a -r -U -w 6
