Did you explicitely run it in a bash shell?
The other distros you refer to might have bash as default shell.

Try the following, it should work on any Bourne shell, like bash and busybox ash:

Code: [Select]

while true ; do ls -l ; done
But this will very likely create a heavy load on the system. If you don't want this, you should try:

Code: [Select]

while sleep 1 ; do ls -l ; done
