Return true if the current time is after a given time-of-day.

Arguments:

Time time

The time of day in hours.

TimeScale scale

The timescale of $time, from:

• utc - Universal Coordinated Time.
• lst - Local Sidereal Time.

Example 1:

The following example tests whether the local sidereal time is between 03:45 and 15:45.

 if($after(03:45,lst)) {
   print "Too late to start schedule!\n"
   exit
 }

Example 2:

The following example tests whether the time is after midday but before midnight.

 if($after(12,utc)) {
   print "Good afternoon.\n"
 } else {
   print "Good morning.\n"
 }

Context:

This function is useful if a process is to be started or stopped daily at a given time-of-day. It returns true if the time of day is within the 12 hours following the specified time, modulo 24 hours. Thus 03:00 is after 23:00, but it is not after 14:59.
