It would still just be doing one thing - sleeping. Support for units usually comes under "and does it well". I wouldn't want to have to pipe df through awk to get MBs, or complicate "find" with arithmetic. Unit support in sleep is a perfectly legitimate thing to ask for, I don't think it particularly useful though, and leap-second support is close to pointless. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
