+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+EXIT_STATUS=0
+NUM_RUNS=100
+
+# Initialize a variable to track the number of successful runs
+SUCCESSFUL_RUNS=0
+
+# Run the Gradle task in a loop
+for ((i=1; i<=$NUM_RUNS; i++)); do
+  echo "Executing Gradle Task (Run $i/$NUM_RUNS)..."
+  ./gradlew :micronaut-gcp-pubsub:test --tests io.micronaut.gcp.pubsub.integration.SubscriberShutdownSpec --rerun || EXIT_STATUS=$?
+
+  if [ $EXIT_STATUS -ne 0 ]; then
+	exit $EXIT_STATUS
