How to install Loop
brew install loop Loop use case
Automate repetitive shell command execution with advanced termination conditions and timers for monitoring or polling tasks.
When to use Loop
- Polling an endpoint or command until it returns a specific success or failure status
- Running a background task periodically at a fixed time interval
- Processing lines of standard input as items in a programmatic loop
- Monitoring a command's output until it changes or remains static
When not to use Loop
- Complex logic requiring multi-step state management better suited for a script
- High-performance data processing where shell execution overhead is a bottleneck
- Simple infinite loops that require no specific termination logic or interval control
Loop features
- · Timed execution intervals
- · Termination based on output string matching
- · Iterating over standard input items
- · Termination based on exit codes (success/failure)
- · Summary reporting for run statistics
