What is It?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A little batch file utility that will pause execution until
particular time arrives. WaitTil will simply set around
watching the clock until the time arrives that you have
requested. WaitTil will allow you to abort the process
and exit with errorlevel 99, continue the process and
exit with an errorlevel 0, or specify an errorlevel to
exit with, 1 - 10. WaitTil also cares enough for your
system to prevent screen burn in. Every ten seconds the
status box will move positions to avoid burning your
screen.
If you've ever wanted to delay batch execution until a
certain time of the day, then WaitTil is for you....
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Execution
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WaitTil only takes one command line parameter, the time that
you want WaitTil to allow processing to continue. Here's the
syntax:
WAITTIL xx:xx[xx][am][pm]
Where:
xx:xx = hour:minute (required)
[xx] = seconds (optional)
[am] [pm] = AM or PM (optional)
Examples:
WAITTIL 15:00 (Allow Processing at 3pm)
WAITTIL 3:00pm (Allow Processing at 3pm)
WAITTIL 3:00am (Allow Processing at 3am)
WAITTIL 3:00 (Allow Processing at 3am)
WAITTIL 3:00:30 (Allow Processing at 3:00:30am)
WAITTIL 3:00:30pm (Allow Processing at 3:00:30pm)
WAITTIL 15:00:30 (Allow Processing at 3:00:30pm)

If you start using this utility, and get a chance, let me know
what you think of it. If you don't have any use for it, delete
it for your total refund of all the disk space that it was
occupying. This program comes with no warranty, no guarantee,
and no promises. If it works GREAT, if not let me know and I
will gladly take a look at it in my spare time. If you really
really really like the program and want to make any donations,
feel free, but it is not a requirement.....
