sleep: Delay in seconds.
$ sleep ${seconds}
try on your machine
The command "sleep ${seconds}" is used in Unix-based systems to pause the execution of a script or command for a specified number of seconds.
Here's how it works:
- The keyword "sleep" is followed by the number of seconds (denoted as ${seconds}).
- ${seconds} is a placeholder that represents the actual value of seconds you want the script/command to sleep for.
- When this command is executed, the script or command temporarily stops its execution for the given time period. After the specified number of seconds has elapsed, the script/command resumes its execution.
For example, if you run the command "sleep 5", it will pause the execution for 5 seconds before continuing.
