Description-en: 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
