Looping a bin file [closed]
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I need to run an infinite loop command on a bin file
Here's what I need......
The bin files contents runs for 100 seconds
I need to either stop this @ 90 seconds start a new process and start the bin file again as if it was never stopped in an infinite loop.
Or run the bin file for its duration then loop when it's finished

Unclear: By "bin file", do you mean "an executable program"? What is the condition for stopping the program at 90 seconds vs. letting it run until it terminates naturally? By "stopping", do you mean temporarily pause its execution and then resume it, or do you mean terminate the program and restart it? What have you already tried and what was your issues with that?

Instead of asking about a "bin file" and then objecting to answers because of some mysterious "data stream", state in the question what you are actually doing and what your overall goal is. Don't assume that you can just blithely mention "the USB device" without explaining what USB device and what on Earth its relationship to the question actually asked is. Explaining that a "bin file" "runs 5.2mb data" is just incomprehensible. Answerers cannot read your mind to find out what you are referring to by all these.

The timeout command does exactly what you require
timeout 90 /path/to/your/binfile
The first argument is the number of seconds, exceeding which the process will be killed. If the process ends earlier, then timeout command will do nothing.
You can add a while(1) loop to do this endlessly . In bash it would look like
while [ 1 ]; do
timeout 90 /path/to/your/binfile
done

Please update the question with your experiments and more details about the stream. The current question just asks for an equivalent of timeout command
