This must be the most braindead tip/command I have ever sent/will send to LUG.

$ sleep 5

will simply make you wait for 5 seconds. It does not even give you
time to have a coffee.

Then you should probably do

$ sleep 30

Anyway this can be really useful in shell scripts.

And there are many programmers who rely on sleep mostly by mistake to
get this code working.

That is a very bad way of doing things but in certain situations that
is just unavoidable...
