It's ok, that i can use this, when i want an incrementing sequence, in a given way:
# {START..END..INCREMENT} $ for i in {0..10..2}; do echo "Welcome $i times"; done Welcome 0 times Welcome 2 times Welcome 4 times Welcome 6 times Welcome 8 times Welcome 10 times $
The old-school bourne compatible way is:
START=0 END=10 i=$START while [ "$i" -le "$END" ] do echo "Welcome $i times" i=`expr $i + 1` done
But for a small number of iterations I'd just use for with a list.
