Syntax:
repeat [cmdlist] [count] [delay]
Repeats execution of a previous command. Repeats the last command by default
until a key is pressed.
cmdlist: If a number or range of numbers is specified, the command repeats the
nth most recent commands (where "n" is the position in the history list).
count: Repeats the command for the number of times specified.
delay: The command repeats execution after a delay for the number of seconds
specified.
For example:
HP Switch(config)# repeat 1-4,7-8,10 count 2 delay 3

Using a command alias
You can create a simple command alias to use in place of a command name and its options.
Choose an alias name that is not an existing CLI command already. Existing CLI commands are
searched before looking for an alias command; an alias that is identical to an existing command
will not be executed.
The alias command is executed from the current configuration context (operator, manager, or
global). If the command that is aliased has to be executed in the global configuration context, you
must execute the alias for that command in the global configuration context as well. This prevents
bypassing the security in place for a particular context.
HP recommends that you configure no more than 128 aliases.
