Read variable until output is greater than a certain Value in BASH

Question

I have a command that has a numeric output, but sometimes, because of an error over which I have no control whatsoever, the output value is below 100. What I need is to read this output, and only continue if the output is greater than 100. The problem is that the "until loop" only reads the variable once. Even though the variable changes over time, the until loop only uses the output from the first variable reading. Is there some way in which I can force it to read the command output many times, until the right value is found?

VARIABLE=$(command)

until [  ${VARIABLE} -gt 100 ]; do
  sleep 0.1
done

echo "$(VARIABLE)"

Answer 1

No fancy stuff needed, you just need to put the command in the loop and then have the loop condition as the condition you actually want to loop on.

while [[ "$variable" -le 100 ]];do 
    variable=$(command) 
    sleep 0.1 
done
