sleepuntil - sleep until a given time

sleepuntil is a mix of sleep(1) and at(1). It takes the same format of time as at(1), including "noon" or "teatime". Since it uses the parser from at, you can refer to the at man page for the format. The exit code is 0 upon completion, which allows you to run a program at the given time with && in your shell.

Examples

sleepuntil noon && sendmail something
sleepuntil 5:00 pm && sudo reboot
