Powershell: Simple retry logic

Powershell Header

I am working at some larger powershell scripts right now and so I needed to create a simple retry logic for sending web request to a server.

Powershell retry loop

# Comment
$Stoploop = $false
[int]$Retrycount = "0"

do {
	try {
		Scripts Commands here
		Write-Host "Job completed"
		$Stoploop = $true
		}
	catch {
		if ($Retrycount -gt 3){
			Write-Host "Could not send Information after 3 retrys."
			$Stoploop = $true
		}
		else {
			Write-Host "Could not send Information retrying in 30 seconds..."
			Start-Sleep -Seconds 30
			$Retrycount = $Retrycount + 1
		}
	}
}
While ($Stoploop -eq $true)
