I've searched online, but it's difficult when I have no idea what the command is. I want to have a script execute, but if a condition is not met, for it to wait five minutes and try again. I would prefer to do this without using a 'while' loop, because I don't know what that would do to the system load. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
