Linear schedule

Wait more time between attempts, using the following formula:

(<multiplier> * <attempts>) + <starting_wait>.

Specifying durations

Durations in attempt can include units, such as 5min. Durations without units are assumed to be in seconds. 300 would be interpreted as 300 seconds. Multiple units can be used together such as 1hr30m. You may include whitespace, so 1hr 30m is also valid.

The following units are supported:

• Hours (h or hr)
• Minutes (m or min)
• Seconds (s)
• Milliseconds (ms)
• Nanoseconds (ns)

Example

attempt linear /bin/false

# Change the multiplier from the default of 1 to 2
attempt linear -x 2 /bin/false
attempt linear --multiplier 2 /bin/false

# Change the starting wait from the default of 1 to 5
attempt linear -W 5s /bin/false
attempt linear --starting-wait 5s /bin/false

Arguments

-w --starting-wait <DURATION>

The number of seconds to wait after the first attempts.

-x --multiplier <DURATION>

The number of additional seconds to wait after each subsequent request.
