minutemaid() { ### @-
|
|
### check if the current minute is divisible by a given number,
|
|
### and optionally execute a command if it is. if a command is given,
|
|
### either execute the command and return its exit value,
|
|
### or execute nothing and return 0. if a command is omitted,
|
|
### either return 0 on the minute, or return 1.
|
|
###
|
|
### note that a "minute" is relative to the seconds since the epoch,
|
|
### not the minute of the hour. this ensures that commands will run
|
|
### roughly every N minutes, regardless of the minute hand on the clock.
|
|
###
|
|
### note that `minutemaid 1` will always return 0,
|
|
### and `minutemaid 1 command` will always execute the command,
|
|
### since every integral interval is evenly divisible by 1.
|
|
### `minutemaid 0`, and any negative interval, is an error.

### # loop usage:

### until minutemaid 9; do sleep 5; done

### echo the wait is finally over; date
