You can execute bash command a certain number of times by using something similar to the following:

That code will print "n=0", "n=1", and so on 10 times.

Thanks for taking the to write this down. With all due respect but IMHO this looks more like an addition to the Tricks and hints thread because it explains nothing. It isn't very consistent in what it tries to say and it's in the wrong section (Security).

2. Kill program one time click base keyword
Code:
#for a in $( ps aux | grep  "some-thing-text" | awk '{ print $2 }'); do kill $a; done;
exp ( klill crontab )

Code:
#for a in $( ps aux | grep  "/USR/SBIN/CRON" | awk '{ print $2 }'); do kill $a; done;
