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 DURATION.

The following units are supported:

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

Multiple units can be used together such as 1hr 30m.

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.
