How to start an experiment at a given time

To start an experiment at a given time, use the command:

autosubmit run EXPID -st INPUT

EXPID is the experiment identifier

INPUT is the time when your experiment will start. You can provide two formats:

• H:M:S: For example 15:30:00 will start your experiment at 15:30 in the afternoon of the present day.
• yyyy-mm-dd H:M:S: For example 2021-02-15 15:30:00 will start your experiment at 15:30 in the afternoon on February 15th.

Then, your terminal will show a countdown for your experiment start.

This functionality can be used together with other options supplied by the run command.

The -st command has a long version –start_time.
