Sleep question

[Luke Davis]

No, but if you use date or something like it, to calculate the number of
seconds between now and then, and do a sleep for that, you might could
pull it off.  You could do all of that with a pipe, something like this:

sleep `date flags`

Where "flags", is the flags necessary to get date to do this, for your
particular OS.  I think it can.
