+.SH NAME
+do-until \- repeat a command until it succeeds
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B do-until 
+.I command
+.IR arg ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B do-until
+runs a command until it succeeds.
+For example, the following invocation runs ssh until the login succeeds:
+.sp 1
+.nf
+.RS
+do-until ssh malich
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+.B do-until
+sleeps for one second between invocations.
+.PP
+.B Note
+that the shell expands wild card characters and performs input/output
+redirections when the 
+.B do-until
+command is started, now then 
+.B do-until
+invokes the command it gets.
+If this matters, you may need to invoke the command you need via
+"sh -c 'foo > bar'" 
+or some similar incantation.
+See your shell manual for details.
