About:
Snooze is a command-line utility that delays the execution of another command until a specified time or condition is met. It functions as a simple alternative to 'at' or 'sleep', allowing users to schedule tasks without complex cron setups. The tool is particularly useful for creating temporary delays in shell scripts or interactive commands.
Key Features:
  • Time-based scheduling (HH:MM format)
  • Relative time delays (e.g., +10m)
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
  • Simple CLI syntax
Use Cases:
  • Delaying a backup script until off-peak hours
  • Adding pauses in long-running shell pipelines
  • Scheduling a one-off command without editing crontab
Alternatives:
  • at – More robust daemon-based scheduling, but heavier than snooze
  • sleep – Only supports relative delays, not clock time
