(This program was posted on another forum, that should not be revealed here, too.)
This is a little timer program I wrote, a clone of sleep (in GNU coreutils) but it displays more information. It uses the same argument format as sleep. It's not really a script (but a program), but there's no more suitable places to post it.
It's untested under any environment other than my Gentoo. It uses a nonstandard sleep() function that may or may not exist in your C library. (It exists in glibc.) And a C99-compliant compiler is required.
For any results that it creates, I'm not liable. (For example, if you overcook your dinner because the timing does not work, you won't get a free lunch from me. )
This program was originally written since "sleep" in coreutils does not display how much time are left. (Of course, the same feature can be implemented by a shell script, but that's just wasting CPU cycles.) Chances are most Windows users have no need to use them at all, but for *nix users, this is probably occasionally useful.
For the detailed argument format, do $ sleep --help.
