Delay is a program that counts down the number of seconds specified
|
|
on its command line.
|
|
In this way, it's sort of like the standard sleep(1) command, except
|
|
for the fact that it provides feedback of the time remaining.
|
|
|
|
Here some usage example:
|
|
delay 1d 2:03:04.5
|
|
delay 1d 2h 3m 4.5s
|
|
delay 93785.5
|
|
delay until 4 pm -- cdplay
|
|
delay until noon tomorrow
|
|
delay until midnight 4 october 2003
|
|
delay until now +5 minutes
|
|
delay 15s -- top
|
|
|
|
It allows for short, long, and customized messages for the display of
|
|
the time remaining.
|
|
- example of output : delay -v until 4 pm tomorrow
|
|
Time Remaining: 1 days, 07:51:39.
