Or, more appropriately:

        #!/bin/sh
        LIMIT=10
        for((n=1; n <= LIMIT ; n++)) ; do
                 command
        done
        anothercommand

Or even:

        #!/bin/sh
        LIMIT=10
        ((n = 0))
        while (( n <= LIMIT )); do
                 echo n=$n
                ((n += 1))
                command
        done
        anothercommand

Yes, you actually can use C-like syntax within double-parenthesis.
