Description : run a command at a particular time
`snooze` is a new tool for waiting until a particular time and then running a
command.
## 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
Over runwhen:
- - less confusing usage (I hope)
- - filtering by ISO week and day of year
- - zero dependencies
Over uschedule:
- - due to supervision, no centralized daemon required
- - filtering by ISO week and day of year
