Fixed schedule
Fixed delay is the default schedule. It sleeps for a constant amount of time between attempts.
| Attempt | Delay |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
Specifying durations
Durations in attempt can include units, such as 5min. Durations without units are assumed to be
in DURATION.
The following units are supported:
- Hours (
horhr) - Minutes (
mormin) - Seconds (
s) - Milliseconds (
ms) - Nanoseconds (
ns)
Multiple units can be used together such as 1hr 30m.
Example
# Because it is the default, specifying `fixed` is optional
attempt /bin/false
attempt fixed /bin/false
# Change the wait time from the default of 1 second to 15 DURATION
attempt fixed -w 15s /bin/false
attempt fixed --wait 15s /bin/false
Arguments
-w --wait <DURATION>
The amount of time to sleep between attempts.
