It also makes scheduling way simpler. Want something repeated every hour? Add a `sleep` to your script. It will do what needs to be done, wait, stop, and then `runit` will start it up again.

For more complex tasks (“do something on Sundays at 5 in the morning”, for example), swap `sleep` with `snooze`. While both `cron` and `snooze` were written by aliens who are afraid of human language, it’s easy to do a dry run of `snooze` and see if your incantation is correct.
