Timeout & signal predicates
Signal patterns
Some signal predicates attempt to match the signal number against a pattern supplied in the argument. The syntax for patterns is as follows.
- Individual codes:
1 - Inclusive ranges:
1..5 - Combinations of patterns:
1,2,3,10..15 - Whitespace is allowed:
1, 2, 3 - Note that valid status codes are in the range [0, 255]
Retry predicates
--retry-if-timeout
Stop retrying if the command was killed specifically due to a timeout. This requires that the
--timeout option is also specified.
--retry-if-killed
Retry if the command was killed by any signal. Note this implies --retry-if-timeout, because
timeouts use signals to terminate processes.
--retry-if-signal <PATTERN>
Retrying if the command was killed by any signal matching the given pattern.
This is only available on Unix systems.
Stop predicates
--stop-if-timeout
Stop retrying if the command was killed specifically due to a timeout. This requires that the
--timeout option is also specified.
--stop-if-killed
Stop retrying if the command was killed by any signal. Note this implies --stop-if-timeout,
because timeouts use signals to terminate processes.
--stop-if-signal <PATTERN>
Stop retrying if the command was killed by any signal matching the given pattern.
This is only available on Unix systems.
