       @stux Dear Admin, can you link to instructions on how to view / download / archive (then remove) old posts? I am happy to do the work to curate my old posts and delete dumb things (but keep the good things). It's worthwhile work to me, even if nobody else notices.

       @stib I'm not sure this will work in zsh (there are a LOT of shells), but bash supports:while ! blender... ; do echo "Bollocks!" ; donewhile executes whatever follows, and if it exits zero, that means continue. The '!' inverts that (this is not in the original bourne shell, but it is in bash), so while NOT successful, echo, then go again.For example, the old shell scripting "if [" syntax? guess what: /bin/[ exists! (been that way for decades).

       @stib if you notice I only include blender once. It's not required a second time

       @stib You are correct! "until" and "while !" are equivalent. I've used unix for years, and I either didn't know or completely forgot that "until" existed in bourne shell and family. Even old dogs can learn new tricks.
