Obstinately

A small command-line utility to retry shell invocations with exponential backoff.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'obstinately'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install obstinately

obstinately --backoff=1.5 --retries=3 -- ping -c 1 google.com

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/rake to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bin/rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in VERSION, and then run bin/rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
