.Dt SLEEP 1
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sleep
|
|
.Nd suspend execution for an interval of time
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar seconds
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command
|
|
suspends execution for a minimum of
|
|
.Ar seconds .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command receives a signal, it takes the standard action.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SIGALRM
|
|
signal is not handled specially by this implementation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command will accept and honor a non-integer number of specified seconds
|
|
(with a
|
|
.Ql .\&
|
|
character as a decimal point).
|
|
.Bf Sy
|
|
This is a non-portable extension, and its use will nearly guarantee that
|
|
a shell script will not execute properly on another system.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To schedule the execution of a command for
|
|
.Va x
|
|
number seconds later (with
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ) :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl (sleep 1800; sh command_file >& errors)&
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This incantation would wait a half hour before
|
|
running the script command_file.
|
|
(See the
|
|
.Xr at 1
|
|
utility.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To reiteratively run a command (with the
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ) :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
while (1)
|
|
if (! -r zzz.rawdata) then
|
|
sleep 300
|
|
else
|
|
foreach i (`ls *.rawdata`)
|
|
sleep 70
|
|
awk -f collapse_data $i >> results
|
|
end
|
|
break
|
|
endif
|
|
end
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The scenario for a script such as this might be: a program currently
|
|
running is taking longer than expected to process a series of
|
|
files, and it would be nice to have
|
|
another program start processing the files created by the first
|
|
program as soon as it is finished (when zzz.rawdata is created).
|
|
The script checks every five minutes for the file zzz.rawdata,
|
|
when the file is found, then another portion processing
|
|
is done courteously by sleeping for 70 seconds in between each
|
|
awk job.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is expected to be
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
compatible.
