Create a file called foo.py:

import datetime
import time

stamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
time.sleep(5)

print(f"Foo - {stamp} + 5 seconds")

Schedule foo.py to execute every ten minutes:

hickory schedule foo.py --every=10minutes

Check the status of all queued schedules:

hickory status

Stop and delete the schedule for foo.py:

hickory kill foo.py
