I want to launch Oobabooga Textgen WebUI from the command line with its serial output. I also want to run a while loop that retrieves the Nvidia GPU memory available and temperature for display on the header bar with a 5 second sleep delay. How do I run both of those at the same time?

    $ while true; do echo Hello, I updated the header; sleep 5; done &
    [1] 1631507
    $ Hello, I updated the header
    sleep 30; echo Sleep is done.
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Hello, I updated the header
    Sleep is done.
    Hello, I updated the header
    $ kill %1
    [1]+  Terminated              while true; do
        echo Hello, I updated the header; sleep 5;
    done
    $
    

    Edit: I’m fairly confident now that you’re just thinking the loop will stop when you run oogabooga, but that’s not how it works. That up above is how it works; the loop keeps going during the sleep with them both going on the same terminal, then after the sleep process terminates, I kill the loop, but for the whole 30 seconds previous, they were both going. It’ll be the same with oogabooga. This the situation you’re asking about, yes?
