It works, sort of. The "Quitting..." message is displayed, but only for about half a second. I can change the argument in the sleep() function all I like.

Why does it not work as intended? I tried it on another machine with the same result.
sleep in implemented with signals and now you are trying to nest handlers. Go back to your other thread and look at porter's comments about too much code in a handler. Reduce to quiter function to just setting a flag and it will work.

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
nice to slow things down, but sometimes 1 second is too much. (9 Replies)
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)
