⚡️ Usage

Specify number of runs

mult \
    -n=10 \
    yourcommand --with=flags --and=args as usual

Ask for number of runs

mult \
    -i \
    yourcommand --with=flags --and=args as usual

Run sequentially

By default, mult executes all runs concurrently. Use -s for sequentially execution.

mult \
    -s \
    yourcommand --with=flags --and=args as usual

Add delay (in milliseconds) between runs

mult \
    -s \
    -delay-ms=500 \
    yourcommand --with=flags --and=args as usual

Stop at first failure

mult \
    -s \
    -ff \
    yourcommand --with=flags --and=args as usual

Note: -delay-ms, -ff only apply in sequential run mode.
