Am I correct in thinking you are asking how to write a for loop?

Or you can invoke “man bash” from the console or you can open konqueror and
put
#bash
in the adress field to see the man page nicely formatted and look for the
“for” construct.
This looks like some good information! Thanks!
Look for the “if” statement and the “for” statement. Not working example with some blocks which could help:
# Change directory
cd $SWDIR/util
# Set the variable n, which should store the number of iterations,
# either to 4 when condition "bla_bla" or else to 20
if bla_bla then
n=4
else
n=20
fi
# loop n times and do something in that loop
# (initialize the variable i with 1, then loop as long as i is
# smaller than or equal the variable n. increase i by 1 on
# every looping)
for (( i=1; i<=$n; i++ ))
do
./swadm add_process 1 BG Y
done
