In this article I will post some bash code examples
Retry function. Usage: retry 3 "Error message" some_other_function_to_be_executed_with_retries
function retry {
local retries=$1
shift
local msg="$1"
shift
local count=0
until "$@"; do
exit=$?
wait=$((2 ** $count))
count=$(($count + 1))
if [ $count -lt $retries ]; then
echo "Retry $count/$retries exited $exit, retrying in $wait seconds..."
sleep $wait
else
echo "Retry $count/$retries exited $exit, no more retries left."
echo "$msg"
return $exit
fi
done
return 0
}
