Sleep progress

sleep-progress is a clone of GNU sleep with an optional progress bar.

The arguments are compatible with the original sleep but you can add --progress or -p to display a progress bar with an ETA. You can wait until a timestamp is reached with --until or -u. Example: sleep-progress -u 15:35

It can be use as a replacement for GNU sleep: alias sleep=sleep-progress .

WARNING: the displayed ETA may not be as accurate as the sleep delay.

Usage: sleep-progress [OPTIONS] [NUMBER]...

Arguments:
  [NUMBER]...  Pause  for  NUMBER seconds.
               SUFFIX may be 's' for seconds (the default), 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days.
               NUMBER need not be an integer.
               Given two or more arguments, pause for the amount of time specified by the sum of their values

Options:
  -u, --until <TIMESPEC>  Sleep until this timestamp
  -p, --progress          Display the sleep indicator
  -h, --help              Print help information
  -V, --version           Print version information
