This allows you to give a time to wait until, plus a number of days if desired: {{c sleepuntil 0:30 # wait until 0:30 sleepuntil 0:30 1 # wait 1 day, then wait until 0:30 }} The source. Note that half of the following code is just there for the sake of pretty-printing the magnitude of the time delay. {{c
