hypnos

A sleepy cron

Ever write little scripts like to do things on some interval?

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  echo "running some tasks..."
  # ...
  sleep 3600
done

Want it to be more like cron? And start repeatedly at specific times?

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  hypnos "0 * * * *"
  echo "running some tasks..."
  # ...
done

Next run at 2017-01-31 19:00:00 -0800 PST Sleeping for 33m25.234920265s
