[CentOS] CentOS 7 bash perhaps off topic

hi all,

I have a small script that seems to be exiting and hitting the sleep 60... The smwebsocket just connects to the web socket provided and outputs the data. This works manually.

the myprogram just opens a database and writes the line...

My desire is to run the smwebsocket, connect to the websocket and output the data (line by line) when we get a line that matches Location take that line and output to the database. Seems simple. I desire this to keep the connection alive and just continue to read data and grep on the data etc... if smwebsocket does exit, sleep 60 and reconnect.

However it seems to be exiting and running the sleep 60. Am I missing something ?

while [ 1 ] do smwebsocket "$URL" | grep Location | while read line do myprogram -data "$line" done

sleep 60 Reconnecting... done

All the pieces work - just not the actual running. What am I missing?
