catsit-timerrun command at interval

catsit-timer interval command ...

The catsit-timer utility runs a command at an interval. The command is run once immediately, then again every interval after waiting for the command to exit each time. The catsit-timer utility is not appropriate for scheduling commands to run at specific times.

The format of the interval specifier is a series of integers followed by units: s for seconds, m for minutes and h for hours. An integer with no unit is assumed to be in seconds. The interval is the sum of each integer-unit pair. For example, 1m30s is equivalent to 90s.

If the command exits non-zero, catsit-timer exits with the same status.
