miscellaneous useful commands
statfs
This provides an equivalent to the df command but in a form that is easier
to use in a shell script. The default output is easy for a human to
understand but with the right flags set it can deliver just the value
required.
sleepuntil
This provides a way of repeatedly sleeping until a particular time is reached. This time can be given as a particular time and date or as a specification of some fragment of the day. It will sleep until that fragment of the day is reached. For instance if you choose to sleep until hour 8 then it will sleep until 8:00 or 16:00 or midnight. You can specify if you want it to repeat indefinitely or for a set number of times and you can specify what you want to happen when it wakes up. This can be useful if you want something to happen, for instance, every hour, on the hour.
timeconv
This provides a way of simply converting the time from one locale to another. This can be useful when you are working with colleagues in other timezones with different daylight-saving rules.
retirement
This will perform a very basic financial analysis of a retirement portfolio. It does a very simple modelling of the performance of a retirement portfolio over a number of years and allows you to model different scenarios
