Hello guys, I'm trying to use codespace as a remote server and needed to turn on/off codespace at certain time.

This is how I imagine it works.

1. There is a codespace created that you want to automate. (ex, do some scheduled jobs)
2. You have already set a cronjob or a scheduled job in the codespace
3. Through this action, you only turn on/off at the right timing to make above job work on time.

Prerequisites

• You should have github tokens with permissions for codespace.
• You should have a codespace already created. (because it just turns on & off existing one)

Parameters

• cron: make this 1~2 minutes earlier before your "real cron job" in codespace starts
• CODESPACE_NAME: name of your target codespace. ex) curious-fox-wr3249sfop3
• WAIT_SECONDS: seconds to wait before stopping the codespace. I think it should be long enough to start the codespace + do your work in codespace. Calculate it so that your monthly usage minutes does not exceed the free tier.

        with:
          CODESPACE_NAME: "your-codespace-name"
          WAIT_SECONDS: 30
