Welcome to snore 😴

Runs for the given time and is similar to the Unix sleep command

This program is meant to explore cross-platform distribution over many operating systems and package managers. The program provides a cross-platform interface for delaying the execution of a script for a given amount of time.

Installation

Statically Linked Binary for Linux

Download the snore binary suitable for your CPU architecture. If unsure, use amd64. After downloading, rename the executable to snore:

shell $ mv snore-linux-amd64 snore

Before you can run the executable, you have to set the executable flag:

shell $ chmod +x /path/to/snore

You can now run the program with:

shell $ /path/to/snore

Move the executable into your PATH to use it like any other program installed on the system

MacOS Binary

Download the snore binary and rename it to snore:

shell $ mv snore-macos snore

Before you can run the executable, you have to set the executable flag:

shell $ chmod +x /path/to/snore

You can now run the program with:

shell $ /path/to/snore

Move the executable into your PATH to use it like any other program installed on the system

Windows Executable

Download snore-windows.exe and rename it to snore.exe. You can now run the program in the Windows command-line:

cmd C:\> \path\to\snore.exe

Move the executable into your PATH to use it like any other program installed on the system

Usage

When snore is available in your PATH you can start using it.

Run snore for one second

shell $ snore 1

Run snore for 200 milliseconds

shell $ snore 200ms

Run snore for 1 hour and 20 minutes

shell $ snore 1h 20m

Run snore for 2 seconds and 500 milliseconds

shell $ snore 500ms 2s

Run snore for one and a half seconds

shell $ snore 1.5s

Run snore for 0.001 days

shell $ snore 0.001d

Building the Project

Instead of downloading a precompiled binary, you can build the project yourself from source. First you have to setup a Rust toolchain. I recommend using rustup. When the latest Rust stable toolchain is successfully installed, you can compile the code.

$ cargo install --path .

The program will be installed to ~/.cargo/bin/snore.

Troubleshooting

If you find any bugs/unexpected behaviour or you have a proposition for future changes open an issue describing the current behaviour and what you expected.
