  run a command at a particular time (by leahneukirchen)

I'll rather use something like snooze to create runit services for each timed job, which integrates well into supervision/runit and I can use runits logging mechanism. I can use sv to send signals to a running job or to the snooze process to immediately start the job with SIGALRM. I will have features like time files, which allow me to do things like "run the job every 5 minutes, after the job finished" or "once a day" while remembering state between reboots.
