| Explicit time to sleep until (based on a 24-hour clock). If the specified time is in the past (based on the current local time in the 24-hour cycle when the sleep command is executed), the script will pause until the specified time on the following day. |
|
|
...
To pause execution for 10 seconds:
Panel |
---|
Html bobswift |
---|
<pre>
sleep 10
</pre>
|
|
To pause execution until 10:30 p.m.:
Panel |
---|
Html bobswift |
---|
<pre>
sleep 22:30
</pre>
|
|
Note |
---|
|
If the explicit time form of the sleep command (sleep hh:mm) is used in a loop (for example, forfiles), iterations following the first sleep command are likely to be in the past (perhaps by 1 second), causing some iterations to sleep until the next day. For example, consider the following loop: Panel |
---|
Html bobswift |
---|
<pre>
forfiles src=*.txt sortby=createdate
# Do some stuff
...
sleep 5:00
end
</pre>
|
|
If the some stuff portion of each iteration of the loop took at least 1 second, the script would sleep for approximately 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, with each iteration following the first. |
