[gentoo-user] [OT shell scripting] how to wait a few seconds
This is pretty dopey especially since I've used this dozens of times in the past. I can not remember how to make a script wait for a few seconds during execution. Its something really simple like. smcmd 3 Where smcmd is something like set, sit, bla etc. and the number is number of seconds to wait. Trying both set and sit here I get an error from sit and no pause from set. (Using ksh) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
