snooze
run a command at a particular time
`snooze` is a tool for waiting until a particular time and then running a command. Together with a service supervision system such as runit, this can be used to replace cron(8). Benefits over cron: - mnemonic syntax - no overlapping job runs possible - filtering by ISO week and day of year - due to supervision, no centralized daemon required - due to supervision, can easily disable jobs or force their execution instantly - due to supervision, have custom logs - due to no centralized daemon, no fuzzing with multiple users/permissions - very robust with respect to external time changes - can use a file timestamp to ensure minimum waiting time between two runs, even across reboots - randomized delays (some cron have that) - variable slack (no need for anacron) - ad-hoc usage possible, just run the program from command line Benefits over runwhen: - less confusing usage (arguably) - filtering by ISO week and day of year - zero dependencies Benefits over uschedule: - no centralized daemon required - filtering by ISO week and day of year
