Perhaps add an infinity option: $ sleep infinity or mention a workaround in the documentation.
Thanks for the proposal. However, while the theoretical need may be there, I don't see a practical use case here. The internal data type is already a 'double', so it's more than big enough. You could e.g. use $ sleep 10000d which is ... $ bc <<<"10000 / 365" 27 ... 27 years; and nothing prevents you from choosing _much_ larger numbers - although I doubt you'll really want to wait that long. Can you give an example where you'd need a "sleep forever"? Have a nice day, Berny
