Re: Shell Scripts

Thanks Peter,

Those URLs look like they'll be very useful, and nicer than the bash
manual pages!

Actually, I have a particular script query.  Is there a command that
causes the script to pause for a specified time period?  I guess a loop
could achieve this, but at the expense of high CPU usage.
