[SOLVED] Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "do")

Issue

I have a very simple file, "retrieve4.sh"

Here is the full code:

while [ 1 ]
do
nohup php retrieve4.php 1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
nohup php retrieve4.php 2 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
done

I keep getting the error

Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "do")

Where am I going wrong?

Solution

If it should be an infinite loop try

while [ 1 = 1 ]
do
nohup php retrieve4.php 1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
nohup php retrieve4.php 2 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
done

EDIT

while [ 1 ] 
do 
echo 'test' 
done

This is running perfectly well on my setup. Therefore I'd expect your method of running the script is wrong

You could also try something like this:

while true ; do php my_script.php ; done > /dev/null
