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.
# 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 $false)Related Posts:



I believe the condition in the while loop should be: $Stoploop -eq $false or it will only “retry” when the commands successfully execute.
I think you are correct
Fixed it
Thanks, this helped me out!
FYI… if you use this with a “copy-item” or “move -item” as your script command, you will run into a non-terminating error condition, as I did. in this case add an:
$ErrorActionPreference = “Stop”
above the command to resolve this.
