This bash script performs the following actions:
-
Shebang (
#!/bin/bash
): Specifies that the script is to be executed with the/bin/bash
shell. -
Initialization (
i=1
): Initializes a variablei
with the value 1. -
Loop (
while [ $i -lt 1000000 ]
): Enters awhile
loop that continues as long as the value ofi
is less than1,000,000
. -
Inside the loop:
- Print (
echo "$i "
): Prints the current value ofi
followed by a space to the terminal. - Increment (
((i++))
): Increments the value ofi
by 1. - Sleep (
sleep 6666660
): Pauses the execution of the script for6,666,660
seconds (approximately 77 days).
- Print (
-
Repeat: The loop repeats indefinitely until
i
reaches1,000,000
.
Summary:
The script will incrementally print numbers from 1
to 999,999
, one at a time. However, between printing each number, the script will pause for an extremely long time (6,666,660
seconds or ~77 days). As a result, this script would take a massive amount of time to complete due to the excessive delays caused by the sleep
command.
