S6-SLEEP(1)

💤 NAME 💤

Okay so welcome to S6-SLEEP(1), straight out of the General Commands Manual. This page is for s6-sleep, and its whole personality is: sleep for a given time, then optionally execute a program. Iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s6-sleep [-m] time [prog...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

s6-sleep acts as the generic sleep[1] utility. Yes, that one. It ignores non-lethal signals.

Non-lethal signals? Ignored. It is literally unbothered. 💅

If there are prog... arguments, then s6-sleep executes into prog... after sleeping. Otherwise, it exits 0. Simple as that, bestie. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🌸 Standard options 🌸

None. Like, zero. The standard-options section is giving empty-group-chat energy. 🫠

🍓 Non-standard options 🍓

• -m — interpret time as milliseconds instead of seconds. 🕰️

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

Here's the vibe check for exit codes:

• 111 — Temporary error. 😭
• 100 — Permanent error, such as a misuse. 💀
• 127 — Unable to execute program - not found. 🙈
• 126 — Unable to execute program - other reason. 🫠
