- With the remark that date / time arithmetics is extremely complex by itself and becomes more difficult if crossing midnight?
Here is a sample code doing what I guess you want but starting at midnight. It sleeps the necessary amount of seconds until 6:00h in the morning if run between midnight and 6:00h. At all other times, it sleeps a minute and repeats the test. Feel free to adapt to your lower limit of one minute before midnight:
I'm sure there will be better solutions if you explain exactly what you're after in a larger perspective.
