Is it possible to auto reboot for 5 loops through mint?

I am currently using the following command to run reboot

sudo shutdown -r now

however, I would need to run it for 5 loops before and after executing some other programs. Was wondering if it is possible to do it in MINT environment?

Solution

  • I found a way to create a file at startup for my reboot script. I incorporated it with the answers provided by swalladge and also shubh. Thank you so much!

    #!/bin/bash
