Problem description

I use crontab and the stretchly CLI to align Stretchly's breaks with my daily schedule (and to remind me to use them in the ways I intended at the start of the day 😉 😬 ...)

Stretchly's CLI implementation has come a long way (kudos!), but today I found myself unable to modify the timing of the next break, which means anytime I reboot / switch user / change device (pretty regular occurrences for me), I lose the benefit of whatever my next reminder would have been if I'd stayed logged in.

It's easy enough for a script to calculate the minutes remaining until the next block of time starts, and I can pass this to the pause command, but Stretchly doesn't start a break when it resumes, so that doesn't help.

I could add cron jobs to activate each break, but that would limit the usefulness of Stretchly's tray menu countdown and introduce other side-effects (including a possible race condition), so solving it another way would be preferable.

Possible solution

Is the Stretchly community amenable to the mini and long CLI commands supporting an optional time interval to wait before skipping to the given break? Something similar to the pause command's --duration option, but without indefinitely or until-morning?

I'll open a PR with my implementation of a --wait, -w option as a starting point (written quickly to meet a personal need, but I'm not suggesting it's ready to merge--unless I guessed what would work for @hovancik and others especially well!)
