sleep 60
done

hi,
it is ok i manager to execute with the following way:
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
clear
echo "Number of logged user = `ps -ef |grep DEAL* |wc -l`"
sleep 60
done
But after that cursor only blink doesn't give the out put after 2 minutes.
I also would like to add the current time before "Number of logged user "with the output.
thank you.

Replace the "clear" with "date".
I have doubt, If you want find out current no of users, displaying `who` is best option.
