retry - The command line retry tool

Retry any shell command with exponential backoff or constant delay.

Instructions

Install:

retry is a shell script, so drop it somewhere and make sure it's added to your $PATH. Or you can use the following one-liner:

sudo sh -c "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/retry/master/retry -o /usr/local/bin/retry && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/retry"

If you're on OS X, retry is also on Homebrew:
