## wait-for-it
`wait-for-it.sh` is a pure bash script that will wait on the availability of a host and TCP port. It is useful for synchronizing the spin-up of interdependent services, such as linked docker containers. Since it is a pure bash script, it does not have any external dependencies.
## Usage
```
wait-for-it.sh host:port [-s] [-t timeout] [-- command args]
-h HOST | --host=HOST Host or IP under test
-p PORT | --port=PORT TCP port under test
Alternatively, you specify the host and port as host:port
-s | --strict Only execute subcommand if the test succeeds
-q | --quiet Don't output any status messages
-t TIMEOUT | --timeout=TIMEOUT
Timeout in seconds, zero for no timeout
-- COMMAND ARGS Execute command with args after the test finishes
```
## Examples
For example, let's test to see if we can access port 80 on www.google.com, and if it is available, echo the message `google is up`.
```
$ ./wait-for-it.sh www.google.com:80 -- echo "google is up"
wait-for-it.sh: waiting 15 seconds for www.google.com:80
wait-for-it.sh: www.google.com:80 is available after 0 seconds
google is up
```
You can set your own timeout with the `-t` or `--timeout=` option. Setting the timeout value to 0 will disable the timeout:
```
$ ./wait-for-it.sh -t 0 www.google.com:80 -- echo "google is up"
wait-for-it.sh: waiting for www.google.com:80 without a timeout
wait-for-it.sh: www.google.com:80 is available after 0 seconds
google is up
```
The subcommand will be executed regardless if the service is up or not. If you wish to execute the subcommand only if the service is up, add the `--strict` argument. In this example, we will test port 81 on www.google.com which will fail:
```
$ ./wait-for-it.sh www.google.com:81 --timeout=1 --strict -- echo "google is up"
wait-for-it.sh: waiting 1 seconds for www.google.com:81
wait-for-it.sh: timeout occurred after waiting 1 seconds for www.google.com:81
wait-for-it.sh: strict mode, refusing to execute subprocess
```
If you don't want to execute a subcommand, leave off the `--` argument. This way, you can test the exit condition of `wait-for-it.sh` in your own scripts, and determine how to proceed:
```
$ ./wait-for-it.sh www.google.com:80
wait-for-it.sh: waiting 15 seconds for www.google.com:80
wait-for-it.sh: www.google.com:80 is available after 0 seconds
$ echo $?
0
$ ./wait-for-it.sh www.google.com:81
wait-for-it.sh: waiting 15 seconds for www.google.com:81
wait-for-it.sh: timeout occurred after waiting 15 seconds for www.google.com:81
$ echo $?
