can we configure an agenda to loop indefinitely?

[jneanne]

I want to perform MTBF (Mid Time Between Failures) Test using WA.
I know how to stop when a failure is met:
bail_on_job_failure : True
I can set a very High iteration number but can I just run an agenda in loop until an error occurs?

Regards.

Hello,

No I'm afraid this is not something we have support for. To get close to the behavior you want, as you mentioned you could either set the iteration number to a large value or perhaps you could wrap the wa invocation itself in an infinite loop as part of a shell script (exiting on an error condition)? This way you can resuse the same agenda of X iterations and just change the output directory each invocation to track the number of successful jobs?

Wrapping invocation into shell sounds like the best/simple option then since we won't have to deal with all the results of the run that went correctly.

Thanks.
