That seems an awkward thing to do in shell. It'd also make it difficult to run two instances of sleep. I'd write it in C:
Run it and hit ctrl-C, and it will show a prompt telling you how much is left then ask for an offset in seconds. A positive number of seconds will add time, a negative number will subtract time. It calculates all this time relative to the program start, so a 'resleep 90', ctrl-c, then adding 25 will have it end precisely 115 seconds after it started even though some seconds may have been spent waiting for you to type. If you hit ctrl-C again instead of entering an offset, it just quits.

If I want a script to sleep for less than a second, would I use a decimal? In other words, if I wanted my script to sleep for 1/4 of a second, would I say, SLEEP .25 ?? (5 Replies)
Does anyone know a way to sleep less than 1 second?
Sometimes when I write scripts that iterates a loop many times it would be
