Subject: calculating relative time until a day of week
Date: Sat, 06 Jul 2024 12:38:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v81itfvs.fsf@librehacker.com> (raw)

Hi, I want to make an Emacs timer that runs a command once a week, every Tuesday at 4am. I could do this with run-at-time and a relative time, but I would need to calculate how many seconds until Tuesday 4am. Is there an easy way to calcuate that?
