shrep lets you run a shell command repeatedly, or until it fails. It’s intended for diagnosing intermittent failures – e.g. say you have a C program that seg faults once every hundred runs or so, and you need to reproduce it to fix it:
shrep -n 100 ./myprog
shrep can also run your program until it fails rather than a fixed number of repetitions. It can capture stdout and stderr to avoid cluttering your terminal. It can run child processes in parallel. See the man page for the full story:
groff -man -Tascii shrep.1 | less
Installation
shrep is currently a single-file Python script. The easiest way to install it is:
pip install --user shrep
That will put the executable in ~/.local/bin.
It also installs a man page, which you can read with
MANPATH=~/.local/share/man man shrep
(At least, that works for me on Ubuntu.)
