The command  sleep suspends execution  for a specified  number of
seconds.  This  routine is especially useful  with other commands
to the shell sh.  For example, typing


        (sleep 3600; echo coffee break time) &


will execute the echo command  in one hour (3,600 seconds) to in-
dicate an important appointment.
