how to have a shell script that will keep running continuously as a running process?

./script-name &

& gives you back the shell, script runs as a process

ie. it should re-run if the code in the script has finished its execution.

recall the script from within the script itself. This can be used notoriously ... I deem that you will be sensible enough :)
