I tried having it recall itself as follows but it is still getting
killed now after 9 seconds.
updated script
<-------start of /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99-test script
#!/bin/bash
test()
{
x=0
while [ ${x} -lt 25 ];do
sleep 1
echo ${x} > /tmp/test
let x=${x}+1
done
}
if [ "$1" = "test" ];then
test
else
exec /bin/bash -c "$0 test" &
fi
<------end of script
