yarn application command hangs due to absence of Kerberos ticket - authentication

Question

Within a bash script, I am invoking yarn application command in order to get the current applications running on a Cloudera Hadoop cluster secured by Kerberos. In case my application is not running, it is necessary to restart it:
spark_rtp_app_array=( $(yarn application --list -appTypes SPARK -appStates ACCEPTED,RUNNING | awk -F "\t" ' /'my_user'/ && /'my_app'/ {print $1}') )
Whenever the Kerberos ticket has ended I need to invoke kinit command, in order to renew that ticket before calling yarn application --list:
kinit -kt my_keytab_file.keytab my_kerberos_user
Otherwise, I could end with an authentication error which keeps repeating in an undefinite way with the following traces:
19/02/13 15:00:22 WARN ipc.Client: Exception encountered while connecting to the server : javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS in\
itiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)]
19/02/13 15:00:22 WARN security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:my_kerberos_user (auth:KERBEROS) cause:java.io\
.IOException: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechan\
ism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)]
[...]
Is there any way of setting a maximum number of connection retries to YARN?
The bash script is being executed in a cron task, so it should not be hung in any way.
