Avoiding Bash Script Infinite Loops with timeout

A Bash script used a `until` loop to check if a web server was up, but if the server failed to start, it would get stuck in an infinite loop. The article introduces two ways to avoid this problem using the `timeout` command: wrapping the `until` loop with `bash -c`, or placing the `until` loop in a separate script and then using the `timeout` command. Both methods effectively prevent the script from infinitely looping due to server startup failures, ensuring the script's robustness.
