Sleep Command

Hello,

Need a little help with the script below. I can't get it to sleep Smilie I'm trying to get this to check if the process is running and if it is, wait 10 secs and check again. Keep doing this until it's not running and then stop checking and send the email.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
mailto=`cat maillist.txt`
isrunning=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep execute | wc -l`
 if [ $isrunning -gt 0 ]
   then
     echo "is still running"
        sleep 10
   else
     echo "is not running. Sending last 20 lines of log file."
     tail -20 /log.log > log.txt
    cat log.txt | mailx -s "Log" $mailto
 fi
exit
