Solution

  • You can quit elinks by killing it using killall elinks.

    Here is the final script:

    #!/bin/sh
for i in 1 2 
do
    echo "Looping ... number $i"
    elinks 'http://google.com' &
    sleep 6
    killall elinks

    elinks 'http://google.com' &
    sleep 1800
    killall elinks
done
