postpone

schedules commands to be executed later

Postpone schedules a command to be executed later when a lockfile disappears. Intended usage is when a command is executed possibly multiple times, but running once is sufficient. This happens in maintainer scripts of Debian packages, for example, TeX packages need to rebuild several indices.
