# Run A Command Repeatedly Several Times
|
|
|
|
From the terminal in a Bash or Zsh shell session, I can loop on a command to
|
|
have it run a specific number of times.
|
|
|
|
If I want to run a test command (e.g. `bin/test some_file.spec:123`) 12 times
|
|
in a row, I could use a for loop like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
for i in {1..12}; do bin/test some_file.spec:123; done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And the shell will run the command one time after another until it has been run
|
|
12 times. That range `{1..12}` can be adjusted to whatever I want. For
|
|
instance, to have it loop 3 times, I'd make it into `{1..3}`.
