Can Sikuli do something at a scheduled time?

Asked by Lexen

I was wondering if there was a way to have Sikuli do something at a given time or date. The best way I can think to do this would be:

setAutoWaitTimeout(999999999)
wait(Image system clock at a Date and time)

Is there a better way?

Use the Python modules time and date to calculate an exact waiting time:
something like
wait(targetTime - timeNow)
just check the Python documentation:
http://docs.python.org/library/time.html

another possibility would be to pack the script that should run at a specific time into a .skl and use a system service to schedule the run of the script.
