use 'sleep n'
--------------------------
Usage: sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
or: sleep OPTION
Pause for NUMBER seconds. SUFFIX may be `s' for seconds (the default),
`m' for minutes, `h' for hours or `d' for days. Unlike most implementations
that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbitrary floating
point number.
