try_repeat released
Today I'm releasing another little Unix tool try_repeat, which tries to run a command n times, exiting early if the command exits with a non-zero exit code. Think of it a bit like the repeat command built into some shells (e.g. zsh) but which "exits as soon as an execution of the command fails". This is particularly useful when trying to find intermittent failures in a command: I can set an upper bound (i.e. "if the command runs n times successfully, I'll assume there are no problems") but be notified if there are any problems earlier on.

The command line text editor nano doesn't quite work how I want it to. So I spent two days hacking together my own text editor, based on nano, so that I can change it over time and it can grow with me.
I am writing these words in that text editor.
