man sleep Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andy Judge Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 5:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] shell script function to pause / wait What is the function to have the script pause for n amount of seconds before executing the next line of instructions? I'm trying to write a script that uses Samba mounts to backup documents and E-mail on clients. The problem is that when I try to umount the smbfs directory to mount another for another computer, it does it too quickly and it never umounts the first mount. Any help would be much appreciated. Andy
