NAME


       sleep - delay for a specified amount of time

 

SYNOPSIS


       sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
       sleep OPTION

 

DESCRIPTION






       Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may be `s' for seconds (the default),
       `m' for minutes, `h' for hours or `d' for days.  Unlike most  implemen-
       tations  that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbi-
       trary floating point number.  Given two or more  arguments,  pause  for
       the amount of time specified by the sum of their values.
