### Description

repeat allows you to define a set of linux commands that needs to be run with a given periodicity and gather the output of those commands into a compressed tarball report for further analysis.

```yaml

 usage: repeat --config=CONFIG [<flags>]

 Flags:
   -h, --help             Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
   -l, --loglevel="info"  Log level: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal]
   -t, --timeout=0s       Timeout: overall timeout for all collectors
   -c, --config=CONFIG    Path to collectors configuration file
   -b, --basedir="/tmp"   Temporary base directory to create the resulting collection tarball
   -r, --results-dir="."  Directory to store the resulting collection tarball

``` #### Example configuration

```yaml

collections: lsof: command: lsof -i # command to run run-every: 10s # periodicity exit-codes: 0 # allowed exit codes (space separed list of accepted exit codes) timeout: 30s # define a per command timeout

 sockstat:
   command: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp*mem /proc/net/sockstat
   run-every: 2s
   exit-codes: any
