echo through iocat in loop

[precociousmouse]

Hi, I'm currently working on a project that requires echoing a message through iocat using --socketio from client to server in a loop. My code currently is:

while true; do echo "debug says hi!" | iocat --socketio ws://127.0.0.1:8001 sleep 5 done

while in another terminal window I set up the server with:

iocat --socketio -l -p 8001

The loop manages to send one instance of the message but then won't receive anything else. Any thoughts what could be killing the loop?

Can you try this instead:     while true; do echo "debug says hi!”; sleep 5; done | iocat --socketio ws://127.0.0.1:8001
