In computing, sleep is a command in Unix, Unix-like and other operating systems that suspends program execution for a specified time. The sleep instruction suspends the calling process for at least the specified number of seconds (the default), minutes, hours or days.

The command is also part of the FreeDOS Package group Utilities. In Windows PowerShell, sleep is a predefined command alias for the Start-Sleep cmdlet which serves the same purpose. Microsoft also provides a sleep resource kit tool for Windows which can be used in batch files or the command prompt to pause the execution and wait for some time. Another native version is the timeout command which is part of current versions of Windows.

GNU sleep specific Examples

Wait 3 hours then play foo.mp3

Note that sleep 5h30m and sleep 5h 30m are illegal since sleep takes only one value and unit as argument. However, sleep 5.5h (a floating point) is allowed. Consecutive executions of sleep can also be used.

Sleep 5 hours, then sleep another 30 minutes .

The GNU Project's implementation of sleep (part of coreutils) allows the user to pass an arbitrary floating point or multiple arguments, therefore sleep 5h 30m (a space separating hours and minutes is needed) will work on any system which uses GNU sleep, including Linux.

Possible uses for sleep include scheduling tasks and delaying execution to allow a process to start, or waiting until a shared network connection most likely has few users to wget a large file.
