repeat

This is an uber-simple command-line tool to repeat a function n times.

It very much sucks in its current version, don't actually use this for serious work. The path, shell, ENV handling is almost non-existent. There is no way to specify if you want your commands to continue even if one fails. You also can't use bash-specific built-ins like echo.

All it does is execute one function n times. if it fails, it stops. i just needed this for a random script, but why not share it for those who need it.

Compile

$ make

# if you dare
$ make install

requires clang to be installed, but you can compile it with pretty much anything. it is a very simple program.

Usage

$ repeat 5 printf "hello\n"
