Help with simple M1XX file

I suspect that part of the problem is that you think you are programming in HAL, but actually you are programming in "bash"
I have no idea how to do that either, but perhaps Google does?

something like
ought to exit if the parport pin is set. But that doesn't handle the timeout. For that you would need to wrap the if-then-fi in a loop in a counter.
I have no idea if this will work as-written as I don't have a bash shell here and I have almost zero shell scripting experience.
I have also rather glossed-over sending a message to the user.

I am looking for help writing a simple custom M1xx file. I am struggling with the Hal programming language, in my advancing age and my old IF THEN ELSE programming logic I don't seem to be getting this Hal format.
I suspect that part of the problem is that you think you are programming in HAL, but actually you are programming in "bash"
Step 4 Verify that the "punch up" limit switch is met
Step 5 If the switch is not met after 5 seconds activate the feed hold and print an error message to the screen,
If the switch is met then exit the M program and return to the main Gcode program until the next Punch M1xx code is called.

something like
...
halcmd getp parport.0.pin-01-in
if [ $? eq 1 ] ;
then exit 0
fiought to exit if the parport pin is set. But that doesn't handle the timeout. For that you would need to wrap the if-then-fi in a loop in a counter.
COUNTER = 0
while [ $COUNTER lt 25 ] ; do
halcmd getp parport.0.pin-01-in
if [ $? eq 1 ] ; then
exit 0
fi
sleep 0.2
(( COUNTER ++ ))
done
halcmd setp motion.feedhold 1
