repeat is a Linux command-line utility written in C that allows users to execute a specified command multiple times in succession. It supports options for delay, verbose output, logging errors, retry attempts on failure, timeout, and repeating until a command succeeds.
- Run commands multiple times: Execute a command N times with a single command.
- Delay between executions: Specify a delay between each run.
- Logging: Log errors to a specified file.
- Retries: Retry a failed command up to a specified number of times.
- Timeout: Set a maximum time for the utility to run.
- Verbose Output: Display details of each execution attempt.
To compile the program, use the following command:
gcc -o repeat repeat.c
