The colon “:” after the while indicates an always true condition to continue the loop. The first statement within the while-do is “/usr/sbin/diag/appmenu”. This causes the script to execute a program file called “appmenu” just as if it were typed from the command line. The “/usr/sbin/diag/” specifies the directory the program is located in. The “appmenu” program displays a menu on the 825 indicator. The menu items presented are determined by reading configuration information from the NOR flash.
