Try echoing the value of $i each time through the loop. I wonder if
the "exit 0" when $i = 0 is the problem.

Thanks. I think you are correct. What should do to come out of loop
instead of exiting the script.
If you only want the loop to run 20 times, then you can change it to
only read a maximum of 20 lines from the file:
for trv in $(head -n20 temp)
