# waituntil
A basic tool for delaying work in the terminal to a specific time. This software was originally
written in Kotlin and then recently ported to Java.
Usage:
```sh
java -jar ./waituntil.jar 10:30 ; reboot # Replace reboot with your command
```
The example above would make the program wait until half past ten AM before exiting and allowing
the next command to run. The timestamp can be passed in the formats `HH:MM` or `HH:MM:SS` and must
be in the 24-hour system. Passing dates is not supported but entering a time that has already passed
will make the software wait until that time on the following day.
## Contributing / Submitting Feedback
The [canonical home of this project](https://gitea.jotoho.de/jotoho/waituntil/) is
[on my personal Gitea-instance](https://gitea.jotoho.de/) but since it has registration
turned off, collaborating there is difficult.
If you have not been given an account on [gitea.jotoho.de](https://gitea.jotoho.de/)
then you can alternatively send me feedback, bug reports or patches [via email to
contact@jotoho.de](mailto:contact@jotoho.de).
Should that fail, there may be alternative ways to contact me listed on
[my personal website.](https://www.jotoho.de/)
In the future, I may also decide to create a mirror for this project on GitHub, gitlab.com or similar.
