Hello J. R., > The name of RANDOM files are all numbers, right? That's right.
> Ah, the two lines in the foreground script should be connected by &&, Ah ok. Tried again after I made this change. As you can see in the listing below, I let it run for 7 loops total. Is this enough to make a statement? The script works - whenever the check is running I can see on a different shell with "watch -n 1 ls /mnt/ro_root/test/" that no changes are being made. He runs into "mount: /mnt/ro_root is busy" sometimes and waits another 5 secounds, as you can see. But that's just bad luck I guess ;) - - - - - - - - nibbler ~ # ./check-loop.sh fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Warning! /dev/sda1 is mounted.
