Spacy:

 How would that look as a Unix /bin/sh script?

Like this:

for i in `seq 0 120`; do date; sleep 1; done

;-)

In the off-chance that the sleep would start at the beginning of a second and the sleep of one second plus any other processing time would last more than one second, I'd use a fractional sleep amount, which most linuxes support:

for i in `seq 0 240`; do date; sleep 0.5; done
