Sleeping in a shell

1999-09-13 Thread Marcin Owsiany
Low! Does anybody of you guys know a way to sleep for an amount of time less than a second in a shell (bash/sh) script? sleep refuses arguments like: 0.5 0,5 1/2 Maybe there is a nice perl command to do this? I really don't feel like writing a my_sleep.c ... TIA Marcin -- -
