rerun

=====

`rerun` is a tiny little script that helps you run repetetive shell commands

over and over again.

The Problem

-----------

Imagine you're working on debugging an issue with a particular daemon, like

Celery.  In one window you're editing code to try solutions, and in another

you're stopping and starting the Celery and RabbitMQ daemons.

The commands

you're running over and over in varying order might look like this:

    sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart

    sudo /etc/init.d/celeryd stop

    sudo /etc/init.d/celeryd start

    tail /var/log/celery/myhost.log

    tail /var/log/celery/myotherhost.log

Running the various commands can be a pain.  They're similar enough that tab

completion, zsh's history completion, and `Ctrl-R` searching all fall short.

That's where `rerun` comes in:

Installation

------------

    curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandarg/rerun/master/rerun' > /usr/local/bin/rerun

    chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rerun

Usage

-----

When you run `rerun` you're greeted with a prompt like this:

    >

Type `/help` (or just `/h`) to get a list of commands:

    > /help

    (/a)dd [command]

    (/d)elete [key]

    (/h)elp

    (/q)uit

    (/r)run all commands in order shown

    > 

Add commands to the list with `/add`.  You can specify the command right in the

`/add` command or let `rerun` prompt you for it:

    > /add ls

    [a] ls

    > /add

    Enter command: pwd

    [a] ls

    [b] pwd

    > 

Now that you've got some commands in the list, run them by entering the key

displayed next to their name:

    [a] ls

    [b] pwd

    > a

    LICENSE.markdown	README.markdown		rerun

    [a] ls

    [b] pwd

    > b

    /Users/sjl/src/rerun

    [a] ls

    [b] pwd

    > 

If you don't need a command any more you can `/delete` it:

    [a] ls

    [b] pwd

    > /delete b

    [a] ls

    > /d

    Which command? a

    > 

You can also run all commands currently in the queue with a `/run` or `/r`:

    > /run

	/home/mandar/sandbox/rerun

	LICENSE.markdown	README.markdown		rerun

	[a] pwd

	[b] ls

Use `/quit` or `Ctrl-D` to exit.
