# smd-loop(1)

iterates smd-pull and smd-push

## NAME

**smd-loop** - iterates smd-pull and smd-push

## SYNOPSIS

```
smd-loop [-vt]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**smd-loop runs smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined** **by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that** **are reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.**

**The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of** **three space separated fields: pull-frequency, push-frequency and** **endpoint-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint** **name is a valid name for [smd-pull(1)](/smd-pull/1.md) and [smd-push(1)](/smd-push/1.md). Lines** **beginning with # are considered as comments. The following example** **calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes, and smd-push default** **every 10. Example:**

```
    # pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
      3              10             default
```

## OPTIONS

- **-v**
