how to have a shell script that will keep running continuously as a running process?
ie. it should re-run if the code in the script has finished its execution.

I guess you should put the script into a while (1) loop ;)
but this is not suggested .... look out for starting the same script in daemon mode ..... ask google how to do that ;)
