[19:23] <ahammond> I have a program I want to run in a loop, sleeping about 10 seconds between each run. What is the correct way to do this? Should I have a script section that has a while true; do foo; sleep 10; done?
[20:04] <JanC> ahammond: I don't think you should implement that in an upstart script...
[20:05] <ahammond> JanC: what is the recommended method?
[20:09] <JanC> well, if it's just something ad-hoc, you could do it in the upstart job definition, I guess
[20:10] <JanC> but it feels a bit ugly when the service is written inside the job configuration  ;)
[20:19] <ahammond> I can extend the program to include a looping aspect. Shouldn't be that difficult.
[22:24] <ahammond> so, how do I achieve the pattern of "run, wait a bit, run again…"?
[22:24] <ahammond> I looked in to daemonizing the script and I'd rather not do it that way.
