Line 2:
The task is to produce a sequential count in octal, starting at zero, and using an increment of a one for each consecutive number. Each number should appear on a single line, and the program should count until terminated, or until the maximum value that can be held within the system registers is reached (for a 32 bit system using unsigned registers, this value is 37777777777 octal).

We use the bc calculator to increment our octal counter:
<lang sh>#!/bin/sh
num=0
while true; do
echo $num
num=`echo "obase=8;ibase=8;$num+1"|bc`
done</lang>
