+-------+---------+---------+-------------------+------------+---------+
| Job   | Program | Args    | Working Directory | Restart    | Group   |
+-------+---------+---------+-------------------+------------+---------+
| hello | ping    | 8.8.8.8 | C:\repos\tend     | on failure | default |
+-------+---------+---------+-------------------+------------+---------+

Reconfigure hello to always restart on completion (even successful):

tend create hello ping 8.8.8.8 --restart=always --overwrite

Note

Based on your platform and configuration you will have access to different programs and shells. Make sure the programs are accessible from your current working directory.

For example, you could write this on Linux:

tend create time sh -- -c 'echo Time: $(date)'

to achieve something similar as this on Windows:

tend create time cmd -- /C 'echo Time: %TIME%'

Groups

Create a job as a part of a group:

tend create dev-pg --group=dev kubectl port-forward svc/postgres 5432:5432

Start all jobs from a specific group:

tend run --group dev
