Counts down for a duration (like
sleep
, but with progress)
- Download the latest package for your platform from the Releases page.
- Untar the package with
tar -zxvf cachout*.tar.gz
. - Move the extracted
countdown
file to a directory in your$PATH
(for most systems, this will be/usr/local/bin/
).
Or, if you have a Go development environment:
go get github.com/justincampbell/countdown
countdown 5m
The duration is parsed with Go's time.ParseDuration.
Example durations are 30s
, 5m
, 2h
, or 1h30m
. Omitting the time unit will default to seconds.
