wait-for

Poor-mans docker service synchronizer

Build Status Source: GitHub License: MIT

wait-for is a script designed to synchronize services like docker containers. It is sh and alpine compatible. It was inspired by vishnubob/wait-for-it, but the core has been rewritten at Eficode by dsuni and mrako.

When using this tool, you only need to pick the wait-for file as part of your project.

Usage

$ wait-for --help
usage: wait-for host:port [-t timeout] [-- command args]

  -q | --quiet                              Do not output any status messages
  -t WAITFOR_TIMEOUT | --timeout=timeout    Timeout in seconds, zero for no timeout
  -- COMMAND ARGS                           Execute command with args after the test finishes
