cchain

Overview

cchain is a command line tool designed to execute a series of commands based on a configuration file. It supports retrying commands if they fail, with a specified number of attempts.

Features

• Execute commands with specified arguments.
• Retry commands on failure with configurable retry limits.
• Simple configuration using JSON files.
• Logging of command execution and retries.

Installation

To install cchain, clone the repository and build it using Cargo:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cchain.git
cd cchain
cargo build --release

Usage

Create a JSON configuration file with the commands you want to execute. Example configuration:

[
    {
        "command": "echo",
        "arguments": ["Hello, world!"],
        "retry": 3
    },
    {
        "command": "ls",
        "arguments": ["-la"],
        "retry": 1
    }
]

Additionally, if you do not specify a configuration file, cchain will list all available configuration files in the current working directory that start with cchain_ and have a .json extension. You can then select the desired configuration file by entering the corresponding number.

Example:

./cchain

This will prompt you to select from the available configuration files in the current directory.

Run cchain with the path to your configuration file:

./cchain --configurations path/to/configurations.json

To generate a template configuration file, use the --generate flag:

./cchain --generate
