#### Utility to run and repeat commands and capture its output.

### 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

 sar:
   run-once: true   #it can be run a single time
   exit-codes: 0 127 126
   script: |    # a script can be given instead of a command.
     #!/bin/bash

     sar -n EDEV && true

 uname:
   run-once: true
   script: |
     netstat -atn
```

```

#### Running with configuration

An example of running the collection for 5s (could be expressed in s,m,hours)

```yaml

repeat --config metrics.yaml --timeout=5s --results-dir=.

```
