Hrm, how about I write code to support two forms of sleep: sleep n which sleeps n seconds, and sleep -d | -h | -m | -s | -u duration ... which sleeps the specified number of days, hours, minutes, seconds or microseconds. You can even specify multiple arguments and use floating point numbers so that sleep -d 1.5 -m 2 -s 4 would mean sleep 1/2 days, 2 minutes and 4 seconds. Whaddyall think? A solution looking for a problem or the best invention since sliced bread? Niall -- Niall Smart. Microsoft Suck.
