Loop
Repo
Loops in bash are surprisingly complicated and fickle! I wanted a simple and intuitive way to write controllable loops that:
- Run on controllable timers!
$ loop --every 10s -- ls
- Have custom counters!
$ loop --count-by 5 -- 'touch $COUNT.txt'
- Loop until output matches a condition!
$ loop --until-contains 200 -- ./get_response_code.sh --site mysite.biz
- Loop until a certain time!
$ loop --for-duration 8h -- ./poke_server
- Loop until a program succeeds (or fails!)
$ loop --until-success -- ./poke_server
- Iterate over the standard input!
$ cat files_to_create.txt | loop -- 'touch $ITEM'
- Get a summary of the runs!
$ loop --for-duration 10min --summary -- ls
- Run until output changes or stays the same between invocations!
$ loop --until-changes -- date +%s$ loop --until-same -- date +%s
- ..and much more!
