From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If I launch like that it would stop at the oobabooga app launch until the job completed then it would resume the loop.
Ultimately, I'm doing more complex stuff and simplifying the question so it may seem slightly overkill to say I need it to work like this. I want to do some container checks, setup, and launch multiple applications with my own parsing flags and some conditional sourcing.
This only part I can't seem to grasp very well is how to run that little loop and update the header while other stuff launches with its serial terminal set to the same one the loop is running inside.
Edit: I'm fairly confident now that you're just thinking the loop will stop when you run oogabooga, but that's not how it works. That up above is how it works; the loop keeps going during the sleep with them both going on the same terminal, then after the sleep process terminates, I kill the loop, but for the whole 30 seconds previous, they were both going. It'll be the same with oogabooga. This the situation you're asking about, yes?
If you're doing more complex stuff, maybe spend a few days learning the basics of bash
