Retry a Bash command with timeout

Question

How to retry a bash command until its status is ok or until a timeout is reached?

My best shot (I\'m looking for something simpler):

NEXT_WAIT_TIME=0         


        

Answer 1

One line and shortest, and maybe the best approach:

timeout 12h bash -c 'until ssh root@mynewvm; do sleep 10; done'
