Introduction

Retry Command is a Python library that allows you to retry executing a command multiple times until it succeeds or reaches the maximum number of retries. It provides options to customize the behavior of retries, such as setting a timeout for each execution and specifying the return codes that indicate success.

Standalone Script

To use Retry Command as a standalone script, you can run the following command:

do-retry [options] -c <command>

Replace <command> with the command you want to execute. You can also specify various options to customize the behavior of retries. Use the -h or --help option to see the available options and their descriptions.

Options

Retry Command provides several options to customize the behavior of retries:

• -s, --no-stop-after-success: Do not stop retrying after the command succeeds.
• -p, --no-ignore-process-error: Do not stop retrying after encountering a process error.
• -m, --max-num-of-retry: Maximum number of retries. Set to -1 for unlimited retries.
• -i, --interval: Interval between retries in seconds.
• -t, --time-out: Timeout for each execution in seconds. Set to -1 for no timeout.
• -d, --cwd: Current working directory for the command.
• -n, --success-return-code: Return codes that indicate success. Multiple values can be specified.
• -q --quite: mute more output.
• --mute: mute all output.
• -l, --no-need-to-log: Does not output any records outside of stdou. It only works when mute is on.
• -c, --command: Command to execute.

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use Retry Command:

• Retry executing a command until it succeeds, ignoring process errors:

do-retry -c <command>

• Retry executing a command with a maximum of 3 retries, an interval of 2 seconds, and a timeout of 5 seconds:

do-retry -m 3 -i 2 -t 5 -c <command>
