Is there a simple way of making x random -- say a random value between 0 and 4 seconds?

[expert] shell script function to pause / wait
What is the function to have the script pause for n amount of seconds before executing the next line of instructions? I'm trying to write a script that uses Samba mounts to backup documents and E-mail on clients. The problem is that when I try to umount the smbfs directory to mount another for another computer, it does it too quickly and it never umounts the first mount. Any help would be much appreciated.
